Could this be that messages sent to me where my address does not appear in the address line are not so deleted? Regards, Roger |

Perhaps other readers have received the same message. Yes, I received it as well; not surprising given my address is in the "To:" line. I guess others are in the bcc line, such as you. All the mails I have received the last two days (when I first began to get them) all just have links to web pages in Germany. What is a mystery to me is that messages addressed to the email address I use for mewsgroups are supposed to be deleted from the ntlworld server. Could this be that messages sent to me where my address does not appear in the address line are not so deleted? That, I think, can be the only reason, as your address won't be in the "To:" line -- Mike 55.13°N 6.69°W Coleraine posted to uk.sci.weather 16/05/2005 22:11:58 UTC |
