If I could quote, I would, but then you'd probably go "NetCop" on me
anyway and tell me I quoted too little or too much, or I top posted, or
I bottom posted... You'd find something wrong and attack me for it.

^U is the standard kill character. HP-UX is the only operating system
out there that sets it to @ by default. Again, I ask why?

And yes, it is DUMB. You can't send an email without @. That's like
setting the Enter key as EOF.

Thanks to those who gave HELPFUL responses, and I thumb my nose at
those who see fit to only offer personal attacks.
