And as said, there is .UUCP and .BITNET for others who can't/won't conform to Internet naming. So whats another one ? That makes it foo@bar.baz.gb, the ISO-3166 way. And if, as announced, the commercial sites got their domains the Internet way, the probably can be reaonably snappy in changing top level domain. So when are we ready with the MX-records ? Any year now. Per -- --- Per Andersson Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden perand@admin.kth.se, @nada.kth.se
