Joel,

Thanks so much.

I was completely unaware that my message went out with an attachment
at all.  It apparently happened automatically as part of its program.
Looking back on my files, I see that I received the attachment in mail
sent to me by another list member who, I am sure, was as unaware of
the problem as I was.

Apologies to all and let's be careful out there.

Bob
