I'd like to apologize to anyone that has received the message below. This is
100% my fault. It has nothing to do with NetBSD or macppc. I was testing a
script which processes email headers. This message was never ment to be seen
by anyone except myself. I hope the incorrect headers kept these messages
from being delivered to the list.

Deepest apologies,
Mike
