	I wouldn't worry about it.
	I often wonder how much news I have never read because
	of some upstream glitch. I shudder to think of
	the number of articles that have been lost over the
	years due to various problems at this site.
	Besides your host site would have to be in ihave/sendme mode
	for your site in order to expect an sendme control message,
	then again, you could try it, but don't lose any sleep over it.
