Dear Rue,

Yes, thanks for the thought, Rue. I understand that. But, as you'll see
from the extracts from the bounce messages which I quoted, (and which you
quoted back to me!!) I wasn't referring to my own copy; I was referring to
messages, from their sysops, that two recipients' mailboxes hadn't been
able to accept their mail from me. I hoped some subscriber to the mailing
list, who has non-internet access to them, might alert them to the fact
that mailbase messages aren't reaching them. It's quite clear:
