Re: I would like to see a header Sender-Addressed-To:

LDW%MVSA.USC.EDU%MITVMA.MIT.EDU@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (Leonard D Woren)
(chuckle)

I saw this on the header people mailing list. It's not from me, but from LDW, and I don't know where he got it - nonetheless, it seems funny to me.

Ben Yalow - YBMCU@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU


Well, I think it's finally time to post something that I've had sitting around for many years. I don't know where this originated, but consider my posting this to be my comment on additional header lines that don't provide increased function to the end user. Also, maybe it'll provide some amusement for readers of this list...

Leonard D. Woren LDW@USCMVSA.BITNET LDW@MVSA.USC.EDU = LDW%MVSA.USC.EDU@Oberon.USC.EDU University of Southern California

I do not understand your concern about the size of message headers.
