We can handle it.  We, in fact, use the flag in all but one of our own
mailer specifications.

While I'm on the subject of mailer specifications...

If uunet's use of the 'm' flag in our UUCP mailer has presented a problem
for any UUNET subscriber please send mail to postmaster at uunet.uu.net (I
doubt there are any or I would have heard of it already).

For those UUNET subscribers with a smart mailer who don't wish to have
domain style addresses converted to UUCP style paths within the envelope
of mail sent to their site from uunet, send postmaster at uunet.uu.net a
message to this effect.  We'll cease this necessary nastiness for smart
uucp sites.
