>From JMTURN@MIT-AI Tue Dec 29 12:52:31 1981 The following is a message I got trying to do a simple 1R in RMAIL to a digest-people letter. If we're going to discuss "strange" netsites, how about brain damaged machines that can't just send a "mail undeliverable" letter. Obviously, in this case, it was a dead/hung site, but shouldn't the mailer distinguish between net mail, which couldn't care less, and local mail which may. God forbid a digest contrtibuter should get something like this!
