I am forwarding it so it may help whoever can give Janina a solution. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 22:09:24 -0600 From: Mail Delivery System <Mailer-Daemon@xxxxxxxxx> To: cpt.kirk at 1tree.net Subject: Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
