3114.0. "ALL-IN-1 added "��" to mail address " by COPCLU::ELIN (Elin Christensen @DMO, DTN 857-2406) Fri Aug 06 1993 14:46

    A customer tries to send mail from ALL-IN-1 to Internet, but gets a
    nondelivery notification from MRGATE:
    
    Delivery of this message through the Gateway had the following results:
    
    	NODE::"internetaddress"��, - invalid address
    
    
    Where do �� come from? - And how do we get rid of ��?
             --
    
    
    In ALL-IN-1 the customer had addressed the mail like this:
    
    TO:  "internetaddress"@NODE@MRGATE
    
    
    It is ALL-IN-1 v3.0 and Message Router v3.2.
    I have the same versions here, but I don't have that problem.
    The customer is running ALL-IN-1 in a DECterm window on a Digital
    workstation.
    
    From VMSmail mail goes fine through to NODE::"internetaddress".

3114.1add. info: checkerboard characters & versionsCOPCLU::ELINElin Christensen @DMO, DTN 857-2406Fri Aug 06 1993 16:3216
    Additional info:
    
    On the printout the nondelivery message said:
        
    NODE::"internetaddress"��, - invalid address
    
    But on the screen there were 3 checkerboard characters before ��, and 2
    checkerboard characters after ��.
    In MRTOVMS.INF this appeared as ^@^@^@��^N^@.

This has been answered in MAILBUS, note 1818. It's a problem MRGATE had with
handling  quotes in the address, and it's fixed in S3.2-002.

(It does help when noters state that they are posting questions in other 
conferences - please try to do so)
