<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=137300718-14072005>The section : "<FONT
size=3><FONT size=2>(3) Adding 'abuse output' Option " describes the changes to
the result returned for "$ whois 10.0.0.10". However the result displayed is
actually the result before the change. This is followed by a description of the
result of "$ whois -b 10.0.0.10". The result includes "e-mail:" attributes but
no "abuse-mailbox:" attribute.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=137300718-14072005><FONT size=3><FONT
size=2>So which request do I use to obtain the "abuse-mailbox:" attibute?
. In your examples it is only returned with the "$ whois -L 10.0.0.10". And
yet I am supposed to use the "$ whois -b 10.0.0.10" to get the abuse contacts.
Should I expect to ignore the attributes and treat any email address returned
with the "whois -b" request as an abuse
contact?</FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
