Hi Bill,
   Thanks for the response.

I've not gotten anything from either the mailing list to say that my
e-mail was rejected, nor from my ISP's mail server indicating that there
was a problem sending the mail.

I would say here though, that as much as I'm heartened by the fact that
there are replies to my posting today, I still haven't actually received
the *original* posting I sent to the list sent to me - which has always
been a sign that it actually got to the list. Or., has the situation
changed?

Stacey
