**** I changed my mind on the first statement ! ****

Ok, I'm not putting this on the main list because i don't think it
has any business being there.
I don't recall asking for a sarcastic flaming (and I checked my
sent messages!)
As for answering the wrong question, that would depend on if
the individual still wants the error message to go to the sender
or if he just wants a copy of the mail so he can deal with it.
Neither case was made clear.
You could have pointed out the other way as an alternative
rather than merely saying I was wrong sarcasticly. This
hardly promotes a friendly 'willing to help' community.
