   Perhaps,  and I'm just guessing  here,  being only one of
"those people" from BITNET, that "BITNET mail follows" means
that BITNET  mail follows,   as opposed  to ARPANET  mail or
CSNET mail or some other type of mail.  Some people might be
interested in knowing from which  network mail originated to
facilitate replies  to that mail.   Were you not  aware that
there  are  different  procedures for  sending  mail  across
different networks?

	If you will look carefully at a sender's address you will notice 
	that it does indeed tell you where the mail comes from. Most 
	of us who have been on e-mail from way back have mail systems that 
	take care of "facilitating replies to mail". Suffice it to say that 
	a heading hinting at contents is far more helpful than the 
	phrase "BITNET mail follows"
