Message-ID: <1991Jan24.185356.13375@alias.uucp> Organization: Alias Research, Inc. Toronto ON Canada Distribution: na Date: Thu, 24 Jan 91 18:53:56 GMT As a frequent user of Berkeley mail, I was dismayed to find that you have modified the interface. In particular, I am talking about the 'R' and 'r' commands. In Berkeley mail, 'R' means reply to the author of the message while 'r' means reply to all recipients of the original message. However, in your version of Berkeley mail, you have made 'R' and 'r' equivalent with 'Ra' or 'ra' replacing 'r'. Why was it changed? I prefer it the way it is, and would like it changed back if possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Andrews Systems Programmer, Alias Research, Toronto, Canada Phone: (416)-362-9181 Mail box: mark%alias@csri.utoronto.ca -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Andrews Systems Programmer, Alias Research,
