System name:		tla
Type and version:	KN01 7.7G
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?
	inc my mail off of e40-po
inc -host e40-po


What went wrong?
	it inc'd my mail of of po8 (currently) listed as my mailbox in
	hesiod.
tla:~: hesinfo jweiss pobox
POP PO8.MIT.EDU jweiss


What should have happened?
	It should have used the host specified with the -host option.


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	A workaround is to use setenv MAILHOST.
	I don't recall this being broken in 7.6, but I haven't
	checked.

Here's an example:
