Yes, I see that often.  I even managed to get the help file forwarded
to me by my postmaster because the return address was bunged up.  Today's
try to get the index by sending mail (instead of replying to a news
posting) bounced on a "User unknown".  I am determined to solve these
puzzles, but that's not what they are paying me for.

(the parenthesis above is because our newsreader seems to know how
to construct addresses but I don't.  However, our newsreader sticks
funny names into return addresses [apparently something essential
happens on a processor called bashfl that doesn't know who I am 
when an answer comes].)
