Not only do we need a way to indicate WHO/WHAT has created a
message, but also the TYPE of a NAME. Example: in X.400 the current
definition of an O/R name cannot be used (properly) to refer
to a distribution list (sending to it) or a distributor (after
expansion).

As for personal agents issuing On-Holiday messages I would
like to have possibilities to adding things to a PersonalName,
e.g.
   US.mumble.mumble.PersonalName.WatchDog
or                              .FolderName
which would allow easier mapping onto some well-known existing
mail systems.
