There are a lot of mailers out on BITNET which speak RFC 733, hard as
it is to believe.  Or, at some sites, there isn't a mailer at *ALL* and
it's people PUNCHing files to each other which they've created by hand.
And eons ago when they learned how to send mail this way they learned that
the addresses were "USER at HOST" ..

AIX is sold for IBM mainframes

IBM mainframes are plentiful on BITNET


ergo cum quid, it behooves the mailer configuration for IBM mainframes
to handle RFC 733 -> RFC 822 conversions
