Yup.  I can never get emacs zephyr to work right, and Laura Baldwin
suggested this.  I've been using it for several months now.

Dude!  Yup, that works fine.

sending a zephyr to myself results in the following:

   biohazard-cafe.mit.edu   
     marleigh: "Do you know what today is?"                                     
              ^@^@ "No, what?"                                                  
              ^@^@ "Today is tomorrow. It happened."                            
      Test.                                                                     
                                                                                
   [mit,message,personal] / Mon Feb  3 11:17:46 2003 /
   biohazard-cafe.mit.edu Ov
     marleigh: "Do you know what today is?"                                     
              ^@^@ "No, what?"                                                  
              ^@^@ "Today is tomorrow. It happened."                            
      Test.       

I get two copies.  If I send a zephyr to someone else, I get:

   [mit,message,personal] / Mon Feb  3 11:21:23 2003 /
   biohazard-cafe.mit.edu   
     marleigh: Men are stupid, men are vain...                                  
              ^@^@ Love's disgusting, love's insane...                          
      Test.   

If I respond to the last one, it'll send a zephyr to the person it's
intended for.  So if I send z kretch "Test", I'll see the above show up
on my screen.  If I then reply to it, it'll send a zephyr to you.
Which I need to remember, since the zephyr doesn't tell me that until I
see the "z kretch" show up.

As a side note, it's also inserting those weird ^@^@ in multiple line
zsigs, which it's never done before.

That helpful?
