The best thing about rn is its centralized maintenance; Larry did the
net a great favor in showing how this can be done.  A patch to fill
in the correct domain is vitally needed.  For example, postings from
panda.stanford.edu contain Reply-To:  user@panda.UUCP -- a completely
different machine.  

Your UUCP-Path header idea is more questionable though.  It's not
standard and there's no official specification for its syntax.  You
shouldn't be inventing one without considering all the issues.  

Larry, are you out there?  Have you done anything about the domain
problem?
