Subject: Screwed-up mail delivery at AMSAA and BRL hosts.

Keith - Following nearly simultaneous changes to the operating systems of
ALL local hosts AND the mail delivery software as well, mail delivery here
has been in a somewhat chaotic state.  Large queues have been building,
which appear to have then been ignored.  I ride to work with one of the "mail
people", and he has told of having to manually unstick the queues on several
occasions.  I suggest that you resend your message about the demise of ITS
binary files in the archives if you feel there is the slightest chance that
the original was not fully delivered.  This is too significant a change not
to get full distribution.  If local mail problems continue, please send all
future complaints to our Postmaster, Doug Kingston <dpk@brl-tgr>, who is the
only person who can really fix things (since the mail is pretty much his
baby).  But be warned: BRL-TGR has been having serious disk problems for
several days, and mail to that host might "get lost".  Life in computerland
is not dull.
