Lines: 13 Class: discussion That's good, because non-conforming reply-to lines might have upset a newsclip program that looked at them. One of newsclip's primative data types is a 'userid' and it parses a news style from line to read it. Headers from, reply-to, sender and approved are all of this data type. Of course it's rare to use reply-to as a header. I should write a parser for full 822 names, but the rfc is a pain to decode on this point and it seems much moe hairy that it needs to be. Unless somebody has a quick 822 parser they want to give me or point me at. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
