jwz> Case sensitivity is one of the worst parts of the C/Unix legacy. jwz> Those who contribute to it should be flogged. Kyle, give not an jwz> inch! I agree, but for a slightly different reason. To rephrase the above, "Ancient poorly-designed piece-of-crap mailers are one of the worst parts of the C/Unix legacy. Those who continue to use them and complain about compliant mailers (like VM) on the sending end should be flogged." My favorite stupid-crud-mailer complaint is "Your mailer puts commas between addresses in the headers. When I hit 'R' to reply, my mailer <euphemism for 'fails miserably'>. Can you do something about your mailer?" I used to hear this all the time until some of the other local mail programs got smarter, and the rest of the people I guess just got tired of me answering "Your mailer is <another colorful euphemism meaning 'not the best available technology'>". [Now, having said all that, I don't care if Kyle wants to change "Reply-to:" to "Reply-To:". In fact, I probably won't even notice (much).] -- Bill Carpenter att!hos1cad!wjc or attmail!bill (908) 949-8392 AT&T Bell Labs, HO 1L-410
