Right -- what he said.
It's really dumb to put "address repair" instructions in a signature,
or anywhere other than the address itself. When the bounce message
comes back, those external instructions are no longer available.

Stan,
Any idea how you put this info the address in the latest version of
Agent? I have not found how to do this so far.
Cheers

You must not have read what I've written in this thread, or you
wouldn't be asking me that question.

Stan,
You say that "It's really dumb to put "address repair" instructions in
a signature, or anywhere other than the address itself" and I am
asking how to do this in Agent. I don't see that you have written how
to do this - have you? I must be missing something?!
Cheers
Geoff

The idea is to be alert enough to do the repair before you send the email.
