Message-ID: Date: 2 Jun 91 14:24:57 GMT Organization: Sideways Bulletin Board, Lower Hutt, New Zealand. Lines: 73 Is there anyone else out there using RUCP 0.11 on the Archimedes? Sideways (running ms-dos Waffle software) provides a feed to Bridge which is an Archimedes running RUCP 0.11. The problem: mail originating from Bridge has, after each header item, spaces up to the next TAB marker. The official standard RFC822 says that there may only be one "space" (section 342 of RFC822) after each header item. A "space" is defined to be ONE SPACE character ie. char(32). The problem is that the software at this end is turning the To: header from... To: patrick@sideways.gen.nz to... To: @sideways.gen.nz, patrick@sideways.gen.nz Personally I think the Waffle software should be a little more intelligent, but it is really the Archimedes software at fault because it is not sticking to the standards layed down years ago. So... does anyone know who wrote RUCP or know whether it can be reconfigured to only use one space character? * example message being sent by Bridge _before_ being processed by Waffle =========================================================================== From julian Mon, 03 Jun 1991 01:33:28 Y remote from bridge Received: by bridge.welly.gen.nz (RUCP 0.11); Mon, 03 Jun 1991 01:33:28 Y Date: Mon, 03 Jun 1991 01:33:23 Y From: julian@bridge.welly.gen.nz (Julian Wright) Message-ID: <28499c6b@bridge.welly.gen.nz> Organization: USS Enterprise, NCC 1701a To: patrick@sideways.gen.nz Subject: Re: hi -- "I'm sig of sicknatures!"
