I'll be darned.  Al Bell emailed me about 1800 PST and I told him
half an hour ago it was running and had about fifty messages today,
and I sent some listserv commands that gerry responded to -- we must
have overlapped.  So I was starting to try to see what was wrong with
Al's setup. Boy is my face red!  My only excuse is that I read the
mail grouped by subject and mixed in with the subaruvanagon mail
which apparently helped confuse me.  Time to move subaruvanagon to
its own mail folder!
