Email sent to me via webtrees (PHP Mail) has the from address in the format username@box###.myHost.com. My host describes this behavior at my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/206 and is seems (or at least implied by them) that the reason for this is that the email header is improperly set in webtrees, so the server defaults to a different address. From the support article:
Works
From: user@domain.com
From: "user" <user@domain.com>
Will Not Work
From: "user@domain.com"
From: user @ domain.com
From: user@domain.com <user@domain.com>

I was unable to figure out what webtrees is actually trying to use, but I would hope it would be the name and email of the person (not a user in my tree) who is sending me the message in the format

I am currently reading 'A stranger in a strange land' by Robert Heinlein and I'm heaving a really hard time with it. Right now I'm on Page 363/438 and I'm considering to lay it aside.

This is really strange, as I have read 'The Moon is a harsh Mistress' and 'Starship Troopers' before and had fun with it, I even reread ST not to long ago, something I rarely do. I'm a fan of old SciFi and usually I enjoy any Book from the golden age. The lingo, video-phones, starships etc.

But this book…

Not only has it aged really bad, has virtually no plot and no suspense but it has some of the most atrocious dialog and general writing I have ever read! Just consider the following 'sex-scene':

"As they merged, grokking together, Mike said softly and triumphantly: 'Thou art God.' Her answer was not in words. Then, as their grokking made them even closer and Mike felt himself almost ready to discorporate her voice called him back: 'Oh!…oh! Thou art god!' 'We grok God.'"

Because sex, archaic English, theology and the beautiful word "grok" mix so incredibly well. I have never before read such a arkward scene…

Then there is "Jubal E. Harshaw, LL.B., M.D., Sc.D.". I know that Heinlein tends to be preachy. But I liked the Prof in Harsh Mistress and I liked most of Ricos superiors, that would tell him how the world works. But Jubal….

A whole police squad disappears on his ground, who cares? He tricked the politicians into playing an anthem for Mike during a meeting, as if he were a representative of Mars! On TV! Now they can never undo this and have to accept him as such! In a world where the government can reroute robotic cabs, drug the passengers and disappear them, mind you.

I read that this is considered Heinleins masterpiece but I simply do not see why. It rather seems to me, that it's the distilled, concentrated version of everything made me cringe from time to time while reading other Heinlein books.

Am I the only one having this much trouble with the book? After all it received a Hugo award, but I just can't see why.

Last fall, I took some vacation time & crossed the Empire Builder off my bucket list. Had my laptop with me, so just for kicks I loaded up Steam & played through the EB routes while actually on the Builder - I'm not sure I got everything lined up PERFECTLY precise, but it was a neat & fun little gimmick to indulge in, for sure. And I definitely recognized certain waypoints from having encountered them in TS before.
