Subject:PLEASE (If you reply to Steve Re: List of Possible Poplog Projects) 
From:A . Sloman 
Volume-ID:1000408.03 

Dear pop-forum-posters

Steve Leach innocently used a To: line formatted thus:

	To: "popforum" <pop-forum@cs.bham.ac.uk>

If you try to reply to his message, please edit that to read

	To: pop-forum@cs.bham.ac.uk

If you must have the angle brackets, make sure there is nothing outside
them.

The reason is that at present the Mail->News gateway here accepts only a
limited range of patterns, and the one used by Steve causes the message
NOT to be posted to comp.lang.pop, even though it is a perfectly legal
email address.

Maybe one day it will be fixed, but the person responsible has too many
other more important things to do.

I have now re-posted to comp.lang.pop (only) Steve's message and two
lots of comments on his message which got blocked in this way.

If I don't do that, the millions of comp.lang.pop readers out there will
be deprived.

I would prefer not to have to!

Thanks.
Aaron
