Evidently, it send the message to "elvis Prestly)". According to RFC822, "comments nest". If Elm 1.5b cannot deal with this, it's a bug and not a feature. Is this fixed in 2.1? On the subject of 2.1, since it has yet to arrive in comp.sources.unix, what are some places that I can UUCP or FTP it from? Please mail me any answers to the later question. -- Charles. {sun, amdahl, ucbvax, pyramid, uunet}!unisoft!cander
