- in conversations with another infoserv customer, it seems that using a
- real waffle 1.65 and setting `node' and `uucpname' correctly makes
- everything work wonderfully (tests still going on).

- I don't know why infoserv modified it in the first place (then again, 1.63
- _was_ a long time ago, and I don't know how many would like to be using
- an UNmodified copy of that now), but hopefully it's resolved now.

- I have never had a problem mailing to the address in the supplied Reply-To:
- line - although I have seen headers from someone else where infoserv and
- someone's site were bouncing everything back and forth for a while until
- they gave up - but that was quite a while ago.
-
- although the Message-ID problem was legitimate, any software which looked at
- the From: line with a Reply-To: there was not conformant anyway.
