Email Address Correction
By Bing Gibbs

Hi Jody,

I'm sure there is a lot of work to compile and put out the MMD and I do
appreciate your efforts on the Digest.

I just wanted to correct the email address as listed in the 11/20/96
MMD for me. As was listed,<ucsd!ccnet.com!stridep>, should be
<stridep@ccnet.com>. Thanks very much.

Bing Gibbs

 [ Editor's Note:
 [
 [ The alternate form of the address is unfamliar, but supported by most
 [ ISPs.  It implies UUCP transport.  As a point of fact, that message
 [ arrived here via UUCP, probably because of a routing decision by your
 [ ISP cause by network congestion.
 [
 [ This "funny" form of address appears frequently in the digest.  While
 [ domain addresses read from left to right, UUCP addresses read from
 [ right to left.  If you read from right to left until you see something
 [ that looks like a domain address, you can leave the rest of the left
 [ part off and use it directly.
 [
 [ Consider:
 [
 [      a!b!c!d!foxtail.com!kravitz
 [
 [ becomes simply
 [
 [      kravitz@foxtail.com
 [
 [ In your case,
 [
 [      ucsd!ccnet.com!stridep
 [ becomes
 [      stridp@ccnet.com
 [
 [ I don't have time to correct the return addresses in every
 [ article, but the description above should allow people
 [ to reconstruct the correct e-mail address in most cases.  I'll
 [ cheerfully help anyone who has further problems.  E-mail problems
 [ to:
 [       rollreq@foxtail.com.
 [
 [ Jody
