Elm claims to be "100% correct according to the rfc822". Well, since I happen to work at a site which only pays attention to ! as a separator (and % for site-local mail), it would be nice to have that legal but non-reccomended behavior as a (non-default) configuration option. Then the sites that follow the reccomended way can have it without any effort, and sites that follow other legal interpretations can use them without major effort. -- Steve Schonberger microsoft!stevesc@uunet.uu.net "Working under pressure is the sugar that we crave" --A.
