Frank, Just thought of a clue to the mystery. Maybe the guy sending the Watcom C++ message had set the "confirmation required" flag, and anyone with a compatible mailer was triggered into responding. Checking header.... Yes! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Message-Id: <address@hidden> Comments: Authenticated sender is <address@hidden> From: address@hidden (Vished Kumar-VSK) Organization: MAPS geosystems To: address@hidden Date: Sat, 6 Apr 1996 16:12:08 +04 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Subject: netcdf libraries for Watcom C/C++ Version 10.x X-Confirm-Reading-To: address@hidden (Vished Kumar-VSK) X-Pmrqc: 1 Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail v3.30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the culprit, combined with you using the same mailer. Not your fault. Warning. Do not set confirmation required if you are sending to a mailing list. Have copied this to appropriate people.
