Pam and others,
 
The biggest problem seems to be the way University of New Mexico systems
handles incoming bitnet mail. I do not know enough about how each individual
system works to know what is going on with each person, but when the mail hits
UNM, one of two things happens to bitnet mail.
 
1. The UNM system recognizes incoming mail as bitnet mail and all is fine.
 
2. Often times, UNM sees incoming bitnet mail as internet mail lacking a
domain, so the system is polite and changes incoming mail to the UNM.EDU
domain.
 
So, when you go to unsubscribe or perform other functions with listserv,
listserv may not understand your bitnet address and problems result. If your
institution has several different mail handlers, you may want to check with
your site administrator on the difference in sending bitnet and internet mail.
Either way you mail will get to where it is going, and the return address will
be okay, but software such as listserv may not understand.
