Hmmm, this is the kind of thing I find most disconcerting:  getting
messages that contain quotes of other messages that I didn't get,
and, even worse, which refer to *other* messages I didn't get.  I
didn't get the refered-to reply from charghwI', nor did I get the
quote that mark has excerpted above.  Pity, really, if I'd been able
to read all that, I might not have sent my last follow-up.  Oh well.
So anyway, my question to you all:  Is it that my local mail is
screwed up (eminantly possible) or are others having problems
receiving?
