TR>Your message is OFF-TOPIC for the AUST_TRADING echomail
TR>conference which deals with the private, non-commercial
TR>buying/selling of generally second-hand goods by
TR>individuals.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Which message are we talking about?

If you mean the above message, it was simply a TEST addressed to
myself, to see if 8-bit ANSI characters would display in a message.
And it just happened that I chose this echo!

TR>Please do not post any more off-topic messages in this
TR>echo. If you wish to post an off-topic message to someone,
TR>or you wish to reply to other off-topic messages, please do
TR>so by NETMAIL.

TR>If you do not know the difference between netmail and
TR>echomail, please ask your friendly sysop to explain it to
TR>you.

Yes I do and have being using NETMAIL for private or otherwise messages
when the need be.
IF (rarely the case) I use this echo for a message which should have
been sent through NETMAIL it's because I DO NOT know the FIDO_NET
address of the receiptant (not displayed), and I am replying to
something echoed in the echo.

TR>Thanks for your cooperation,

TR>TREV [Moderator].

I'm also know the rules of this and other echos, since they are
constantly displayed. (How could I forget.)

Thanks for your understanding.
WALLY [User].
