If you "followup" an arpanet digest, it only goes to USENET - the gateway is not that bright. If, on the other hand, you "reply" to the notice, it gets sent to a "psuedo-user" at the gateway (e.g. berkeley) and then gets forwarded everywhere. Thus, if you want to MAIL to the originator, you have to mung the address a bit before you send it. Do not use "reply" on fa.* stuff unless you really meant "followup". steve glaser
