But E-mail is too generic as to what was being discussed Tom.

The message you wrote above and the message reply you see here from me, can
be read by anyone with access to this forum, its called echomail. NETMAIL
is system specific mail meant for a specific individual. A netmail message
wont be accessible by all like echomail is.
