Murphy, Murphy .... my machine came back and complained about that "unknown
site", so I remail the message to address  "scott%utcs@csnet-sh"  which I
would have sworn would work (it always did in the past).  Seems as if we
recently acquired a new HOSTS-table which redefines CSNET-SH to be SH.CS.NET.
little good that did me, as the excerpt from the returned mail below shows.
As a last attempt, I just culled the numeric Internet-address out of the
HOSTS-table.  but Scott, if you should be reading this and wondered why you
never heard from me again:  I'M GIVING UP AFTER THIS ATTEMPT - no matter what!

Message failed for the following:
scott%utcs@SH.CS.NET.#Internet: 550 (BHST) Unknown host/domain name in "scott%ut
cs@SH.CS.NET"
