Nagle) Newsgroups: news.misc,comp.protocols.tcp-ip Subject: VERY strange behavior at USENET/BITNET gateway Keywords: bug BITNET USENET news Message-ID: <17978@glacier.STANFORD.EDU> Date: 6 Jan 89 17:16:26 GMT Organization: Stanford University Lines: 76 The following message was returned to me by mail, in response to a USENET posting to comp.society.futures. Somehow, a strange form of address translation was applied to the CONTENT of the message, resulting in an attempt to interpret the 1988 election returns as Internet addresses.
