Message-ID: <3832@blake.acs.washington.edu> Date: 28 Sep 89 17:29:40 GMT Organization: Univ of Washington, Seattle Lines: 16 After doing a bit more testing, I see this is more obscure than I thought. The hanging occurs in Berkeley mail when there is entries after the address "xx (yy)". That is "Cc: xxx (yy)" works "Cc: xxx (yy), zzz" inifinite loop with "r" command. The reason for my concern is not so much a local problem -- we can fix that easily -- but for other's using Berkeley mail on our campus and on the Internet. Berkeley is used a lot because iot is sort of the default. I'll still suggest that Elm consider the "name" style headers because I can't see any thing to lose by going to them, and the change is easy.
