What a good idea!  Dunno why I didn't think of it before.  The inability of
Msged to send netmail to two different bosses has never been a problem
before, as long as the correct address has been selected with Ctl-W first,
but if not, the seen-by and path lines tend to fuck things up severely
during netmail routing.

Exactly.  It's an elegantly simple solution too.

 JG> Give it a go. It might stop whatever happened before.

Have already reconfigured, and everything is working just fine again.  I've
no idea why it chose that particular moment to fuck up, but it certainly
shouldn't happen again.  Thanks for the suggestion.
