Hi Ken,
I was under the impression that even back in the day, [real name as a
comment] was not common. If you've got mail that old, would you care
to check and see how much you have with addresses like that?
Tons! Mailers include
AT&T Message Center Version 1 (Apr 11 2006)
ELM [version 2.4 PL22]
Mailer::1.0 [Perl?]
slrn/0.9.5.7 (UNIX) [Usenet, I know]
[Some MTA error reports.]
XFMail 1.3 [p0] on Linux
and I gave up looking after a bit.
And it continues to this day.
$ readlink -e `which mail`
/usr/bin/heirloom-mailx
$ mail ralph <$N
No message, no subject; hope that's ok
$ fgrep From: /var/spool/mail/ralph
From: ralph(_at_)inputplus(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk (Ralph Corderoy)
$
I seem to vaguely recall being a bit surprised when seeing the `Foo Bar
<foo(_at_)bar(_dot_)com>' instead and wondering how legal it was. ;-) So there
must have been a transition at some point.
Cheers, Ralph.
