 Imagine if the From: line at Massey went a step further and replaced 
 kilroy@acme.gen.nz with news@massey.ac.nz who you not be concerned as 
 this would not be within the confines of RFC822, same as does currently
 apply to the Nats quote.
 
 Do not nit pick for the sake of it Craig. Remember how you ridgidly 
 stick to the RFC's when it comes to Mr Bruce Becker. If you showed
 the same kind of leighway as you do here to Nat you would not have
 the problems with Mr Becker and all your forged rmgroups.
 
 Food for thought.
