John, First...I did not initiate the email problem, I think that it was Rob. And I I see that you sent it pmail and gerry, but I got it once with both addresses attached via Gmail. I'm not really complaining, but I NEVER see my post until someone answers it. Since I am in the listserv, you would think that any msg posted to the list would be copied to the list members, INCLUDING the poster. I can find my post in the archive, but I do not get a copy of it via Gmail from the List. I am responding to you via pmail and list, so YOU should get it twice(?). Anyway, back to the fuel lines. See ya, Michael. On Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 1:12 PM, John Goubeaux <john@ucsb.edu> wrote: > Michael, > > I would not automatically assume that the problem is on the server (list) > end.
