490.0. "set personal = no_more_escapes?" by ARMORY::MIKELISJ (Just browsing through time...) Mon Jun 08 1987 16:58

Did VMS V4.5 disallow the processing of escape sequences in the
personal MAIL name?  I used to be able to bold my personal name
when i sent mail to someone (that is it appeared bolded when they
received it while logged in), but now it does not seem to work
and i'm not sure when i first noticed this problem.  I know
that for several of the past releases of VMS you could no longer
send escapes in the textual body of the message and still have them
processed, but you could as far as the personal name went.

490.2	But why are DEC-Multinational characters disallowed?	JON::MORONEY	Don't cloud the issue with the facts!	`Mon Jun 08 1987 20:48`	0
490.3		ERIS::CALLAS	I have nothing to say, but it's okay	`Tue Jun 09 1987 10:20`	4
	That's not a feature, it's a bug. And it's fixed in V5.0 at the very latest. Jon
