Aucbvax.4729 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Tue Oct 27 20:18:24 1981 MMDF verbosity suggestion >From decvax!ittvax!swatt@Berkeley Tue Oct 27 19:33:50 1981

If sri-unix would just remove:

jeff at Ucla-Ats lou at Ucla-Ats

from the unix-wizards list, I wouldn't have to look at those long and tedious messages from MMDF telling me all the gory details of trying to get my message to everyone.

I have gotten 5 such messages back in the past few days, every one because of failure to deliver to just those two recipients.

This saves us all from the bigger flame of what the mail system "should do" in all circumstances.

Flame off.
