DOC's Place may not be using a door... the y2k fix for the reader will take
care of the problem for the users, though... it is not required, AFAIK,
that the door also have the fix in place... deity knows that many do not
but their users do... the key, though, is that the user's reply packets
have farkled dates in them which result in a single digit number being
stuffed on to the front of the TO: field's name... in this case we have
been seening those messages addressed to 3WCBW or somesuch... the fix would
remove the '3' from that 'name' resulting in 'WCBW' which would be properly
recognized and handled by the door or built-in section...
