Berkeley mail has the BerkNet bug on AIX

When /usr/ucb/mail under AIX 3.1 is given a fully-qualified name as a From:
address, using reply will generate garbage addresses.
Example: foo at ux1.cso.uiuc.edu will be transformed to ux1.uiuc:foo at edu .
Fix by applying the following patch to /usr/src/ucb/mail/config.c . That is
if you have sources. Otherwise you're SOL - SOP from object-only vendors.
Is anyone thinking of porting 4.3 or 4.4 to the RS6000?
