GM>>> Now we'll see whether the netmail reply that I'm posting

ahhh...

yes, i do...

i'll never understand why folk didn't fully embrace the fido methods ;-( 
things would have been so much better... heck, even adding security
features such that a sysop could see netmail routing and header info
without seeing the message body is/was possible... that, in itself, would
have prevented much of the privacy issues that abound(ed)... sometimes it
sucks to be a hobbiest ;-((
