Laubenheimer) Newsgroups: net.bugs Subject: Bug in vnews Message-ID: <1100@ucbvax.UUCP> Date: Mon, 18-Jun-84 00:22:15 EDT Article-I.D.: ucbvax.1100 Posted: Mon Jun 18 00:22:15 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 19-Jun-84 01:02:11 EDT Organization: U.C. Berkeley Lines: 18 The "r" (= reply) command in the version of vnews currently installed at Berkeley seems to assume a greater degree of intelligence in the mail system than actually exists. When replying to a path sitea!siteb!...!sitez!foo!bar it puts in the "To:" field of the reply the contents of the "From:" field of the message being replied to, which is typically "bar@foo". If we don't talk to foo, the local mailer bounces it back, I have to go track down the message I was replying to, and then compose a reply path to get to foo. This shouldn't be necessary. Has anybody fixed this yet? Or am I just overlooking something? ____ Bill Laubenheimer ___ / \ ___ UC-Berkeley Computer Science / \ | o o | / \ ucbvax!wildbill ------+++----------()----------+++------ ...Killjoy was here!
