Another message bounced to me from a "non-subscriber" who, by the way, could
be a subscriber to our List except subscribed with another address than the one
that was used to send this message. One reason I'm forwarding this is that the
senders address is clearly visible IN THE MESSAGE. Unless they are, since some
browsers are not very good at showing them, I don't send them.
One of these days, I'll probably get tired of doing this and just start round-filing
them.
