I am using HP300 (MPE XL Operating System) and HPDESK ver B.03.B0.
I have a problem on mailing between HPDESK and foreign systems. When mail 
is delivered by the truck from foreign system, a ARPA file is created and
the field sender in the ARPA file is looked this :-
Sender:  "J wilkinson (J.wilkinson@ucq.edu.au)"@[vaxen/ux]
                                  |                  |
                           foreign address        gateway

if the length of the string inside the () bracket is longer than 32
characters then HPDESK will ignore that string and therefore the sender 
address will become "J wilkinson /vaxen/ux" which is incorrect and cannot 
be used for replying.

Is anyone out there knows how to overcome the 32 characters restriction
or any different format of the sender field that HPDESK is also used,
please mail to me on the email address below.

Thank in advance.
Have a nice day.
Phong.
