USWest apparently retrains the line from their end.  Here is some more

On the e-mail addresses.  I sent e-mail to myself at home, and it arrived with a
correct header.  In this case I would guess the e-mail header would be processed
by skypoint.com, uswest.net, and then my home system.  I've had this problem
reported to me once before (and it wasn't you :-).  I'm not sure if that means
the e-mail headers being generated by netscape are susceptable to rewriting
by gateway e-mail servers or what???

On the fringe festival - don't see the funny shorts thing.  It was terribly lame -
we all hated it.  Elissa and Bernadette went to see Sex with David Mann and
thought it was great.
