We have a problem here at CSUN.  We have machines that run both UNIX and VMS
and mail travels between them.  The problem is in responding to a message
from VMS using MH, MH doesn't seem to like the "host::user" format.  Since
mail front ends should not touch the addresses (let alone parse them) how
can I get MH to stop parsing them (or *eesh* atleast have them parse the ::)?

(Please don't ask me to have the :: rewritten as @, the problem is the VMS
system is .csun.edu and our UNIX host is .secs.csun.edu.  The rewritten
address comes out as vax.secs.csun.edu, not vax.csun.edu.)

T.I.A.
Mike.
