errrmmm... aren't there complaints of Z1 trying to come up with something
that is viable and doesn't cause problems all over the place? doesn't
stuffing IP type info into other fields in the nodelist also cause
problems??

additionally, what, exactly, is the definition of a "proper TCP/IP
mailer"?? is it your definition or one from the entire network, as a
whole? is it determined by widespread common usage only or is it determined
by one individual or even a council of some sort??
