SUMMARY: V3 Mailtools eats X.400 Addresses

From: Peter Elford (P.Elford@aarnet.edu.au)

I had a problem with MailTool ignoring addresses that contained "/" characters,
such as those used to direct mail into X.400 systems, eg.

        /G=CUSTOMER/S=SERVICE/O=CUST.SERVICE/@telememo.au

I reported this to Sun Australia who provided me with a temporary
patched version within 3 days, and have just recently provided my
with an official patch. It is available via anonymous ftp from
aarnet.edu.au as pub/misc/100544-01.tar.Z

The README file is attached.

Many thanks to Sun for resolving this so quickly.
