- Hi,
-
- I have received some complaints/comments from some outside NeXT users who say
- that when they try to reply to my mail messages using the 'reply' function they
- can't do it because my 'From:' field has @@ in the address name instead of a
- single @. Do any of you Next/unix gurus have an idea how to debug the problem?
- I am also using a next computer. Enclosed below are excerpts from two messages
- bringing my attention to the problem.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Peter Seidl
