I have a problem.  I'm trying to send to a friend of mine at RPI;
her account name is "mkim@rpi-cicge.BITNET".  Now, for some
reason, the bitnet handler around here trims off all but the
first 8 characters of the address!  In other words, after the
first bitnet hop, the address has become

	"mkim@rpi"

which is majorly incorrect...

Is there any way around this major problem?

And if not, is there anyone who knows of a path to that machine?
(that is, "rpi-cicge")
