Alas, I can't read all the paper that comes in my door as it is.  I let
my subscription to Business Week expire.  What (at least) is the subject
on page 68 of the 1/8 issue?

You seem pretty sure *sigh*.  At least EVERYTHING sent to APPLE2-L arrives
with mail headers AND even after LISTSERV is through with it, the return
address of the original sender remains with the file(s).  Hence, Chris
and I would be (just a tad) suspicious of any new Z-Links that don't come
from you.  Even some unknown program retains some traceable headers,
although it IS possible to play around with the "From:", "Sender:", and
"Reply-to:" data and disguise the actual account (possibly even the
originating node IF enough gateways are used).

The people who really need to be checking are Chris and Paul who maintain
the archives at BrownVM and husc6.
