Problems with (Returned mail: Data format error)

1997-10-20 06:05:46
Hi,
        I bounce mail to an email only address.  From the headers, I have
(I think)gleaned that the target address is choking on 8-bit ascii
(headers follow).
        Right now the action that I am taking is:
!newaddress(_at_)newaddress(_dot_)
        I am assuming that by using formail, I could forward and screen
out the 8-bit text.  Does anyone have the recipe for this?
