Message-ID: <1451@tekecs.UUCP> Date: Mon, 20-Jun-83 17:59:36 EDT Article-I.D.: tekecs.1451 Posted: Mon Jun 20 17:59:36 1983 Date-Received: Sun, 26-Jun-83 18:46:07 EDT Lines: 14 After several unsuccessful attempts to send lex scripts through the mail, I am faced with the following question: Can anyone describe a set of rules which will assure me that letters will make it through the network mail UNALTERED? So far, I have learned the following rules: 1) no line of the letter begins with the word "From". 2) no line of the letter begins with a any word followed by a colon - e.g. "Confirm:". 2) the letter contains no adjacent backslashes. 3) no line of the letter contains more than eighty characters.
