Hop over to an echo such as TEST or FIDONEWS. You will find more       3-initial names there (most from the euro-zones. Try some test replies in OXP       and you will then surely be able to reproduce the problem. :)              I can work around the problem be re-editing manually, but I simply avoid       striking up a conversation with 3-initial people to save work! |
