I just got a comp.lang.c submission returned from some BITNET site
because it was forwarded to Info-C@BRL.ARPA and was, for some reason,
undeliverable to two or three recipients.  Aside from the fact that
the errors should have gone to Info-C-Request@BRL.ARPA, there was
something very peculiar about the returned message.

All the square brackets `[' and `]' were missing.

How can anyone on BITNET read these Info-C postings if the BITNET
software eats square brackets?  Or is it only on reverse translation,
EBCDIC to ASCII?
