Hello,
I am an Athena Consultant. A user was having trouble replying to a
message. It seems to me that the mailer is really botching something
when forming the return address. I have a full transcript of the mail
header she's trying to respond to, the bounce, and what it does when she
types "repl":
This is the header of the message she received from Caltech:
