For starters, you could put a subject line in your message. I usually just skip over messages without subject lines as I scan the headers, which probably would explain why most of the people who might have been able to answer your question before didn't answer, and is why they probably wont answer this time either. If you sent the message out on April 17th, as you say, you've probably received at least one of those automated messages that tell you how to use this mailing list, one that covers such mundane topics as putting subject lines in your emails. I suggest you read it again, or wait 'til it comes out again if you (probably) deleted it already. > From: PMJDALZELL@aol.com > > On April 17, I sent the below message and have never received a response. > Can anyone there help me? thanks > > > exactly how do I use message id?

I know very few people with email addresses like the one you describe above, and I know very few machines that read email during their spare cycles. How do you use a message ID? I don't think a message ID is something a person is supposed to use. It's just a tracking number used by the servers who send the mail along to its intended destination. It's not an email address, and I doubt it can be resolved to an email address. If you want to send something to the people in charge at ebs.ulead.com, try sending something to "root@ebs.ulead.com" or "webmaster@ebs.ulead.com" or whatever. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm misleading this guy. --- Derrick Baumer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
