Hello,

I'm trying to get the `Check Recipients' operation in the `messages'
program (part of atk 5.1) to work under NetBSD 0.9.  At present this
operation is comming back with `The name you typed is invalid'.

Could someone please give a pointer as to what could be going wrong.
(Or better, let me know where there is a working copy of ATK for
NetBSD :-)
