- |There is no way to ever be sure of this. BITNET simply doesn't have any rules
- |about this sort of thing. As a result you may find all sorts of bizarre usage
- |out there. All I can say for sure is that I have never seen a mailer that's
- |sensitive in this way. However, my experience also tells me that when it comes
- |to BITNET there is almost certainly such a system out there.

- This is about as safe as you can get. Jnet does it by default on outgoing
- mail. Do it.
