Several  people (some  *very* knowledgeable)  did care  to answer  to my
posting on this subject. For those  who wonder, the syntax for routes in
RFC822  *does*  use  commas  (I  had overlooked  the  fact  that  a  '#'
specification is used, which implies separation by commas ; ooops..).

Several people also did care to warn me about the fact that many mailers
do *not* support  routes. Don't be worried. I know.  I am the postmaster
here, managing a copy of the  Crosswell mailer, with *no* route support.
But I wanted to  know for sure because I am  distributing an utility for
VM/CMS systems to extract information from RFC822 headers, and I want it
to support the full syntax.

Thanks again.   /AF
