Steve:
I have received two responses off-list, both from people I had failed to remove
from the address bar.
However, my original message did not appear on the Towertalk reflector. I
received "mail delivery failed".
I am having trouble with my new computer, which is Windows 8 (designed for
"Small Children at Play".
TNX for the reply,
73, Barrie, W7ALW\
