  I know how the theory, but after four years of e-mail I also know
how it works: you answer your personal mail first, and then if you
have time you scan the rest and reply to interesting ones. The lack of
a To: line is quite unacceptabe.

 BL> PAUL!! You're going to have to add a To: line in your
 BL> EdwardsNet standards. Or do we always use mail instead of
 BL> news...?

 PE> X-Comment-To will be added as soon as practical. As will the
 PE> ability to not send you every newsgroup I have. BFN. Paul. 

  Is "X-Comment-To:" registered already? If not, why not use the simpler
'X-To: "?

Regards,
Bob
