    I don't know where you heard this, but I just tested mail between 
    4.0FCS on a Sun-386i and 3.4 on a Sun-3, and your news appears to 
    be wrong.

It appears I was rather premature in my posting.  The news I heard was
just as I reported it, but it was reported incorrectly.  Sorry if I
alarmed anyone...

Anyway, the latest info is that internet mail appears ok, and uucp
mail appears ok, but sometimes a mixture will result in the From line
looking like "From <your login> <date>".  The "date" always appears.

More data needs to be gotten before I can remove my foot from my mouth.
