- Only if your system has administrative domain privileges for a particular
- domain (i.e., your Waffle is the ADMD for it), or you have access via x.25,
- or TCP/IP, to such.

- Not in my lifetime, I hope. Submit an RFC suggesting that, and maybe enough
- Usenet hackers will agree, and will follow suit by changing the existing or
- future news software packages to support x.400. Maybe it already does, and
- I'm just being pin-headed?

- Did you have in mind changing the format for suitable From: addresses? You
- know that you can already post to the Usenet through a couple of email gate-
- ways from your x.400 account? as long as you can send to Internet addresses
- from it, anyhow. Don't forget, x.400 is an email addressing standard, and
- has only a few partially-compliant implementations. Email and Usenet are
- only tangentially related.
