Needless to say, many of the links to external sites are no longer functional after 20+ years.Path: visi.com!winternet.com!kae

So, I *shouldn't* worry if I don't receive an email that was sent from
abominable at 9:40 pm Wednesday 7/10 until 8:37pm Thursday 7/11?
Okay. Anyhow, I'm pretty much done worrying.
At least it's not *quite* a 24-hour lag.
(Oh, BTW, a "subject" line would be nice, too. Oh, wait, that's right -
you were going to get someone to help with sendmail, right? Maybe they can
help you with mail headers too.)
