Good answer. Yes, it was a good message to forward. Rich doesn't have to read
it if he doesn't want to.
While it would be nice if you added one or two lines of WHY you're forwarding,
why you think it's of interest to the second list, as David points out if it's
really that good it will stand on it's own; if it needs explanation, maybe it
shouldn't be forwarded. I can go both ways on that.
However, it would really be nice if you deleted most of the >HEADER: lines
that are incomprehensible to all but SMTP gurus. The first screenful of your
forwarded message contained only headers, very easy to delete unread.
