PPS: I wrote the above yesterday (10/8) and thought I mailed it but used the wrong
address so am reposting it. In the meantime the wife has returned and the mystery is
solved. She was surfing the Net and replied directly from Netscape to an e-mail
address. Since I have Netscape e-mail configured to DIMACS, the return e-mail address
for Barb's message was the drei96 address. She is greatly apologetic and has promised
never to do it again until she forgets!
That's all folks!
