Does anyone know why UUCP "bag" files are called "bag"?
Thanks in advance.

As in mail bag
That's what I sort of thought. But I've not been able to find anything
documenting that.
Someone on TUHS replied and said "news bag" like paper boys wore for
delivering news.
Seeing as how UUCP can easily carry both news and mail, it works for
both. :-)
