Joe;

This is from the person who wrongfully mailed BBedit around the world.
Your response was polite, helpful and informative.

Ironically, I am not a newcomer to the net (I am new to this group though).
 What threw me was my new mailer (Eudora). I did make the mistake of using
"reply" (to the group) to reply to the individual, but I caught myself and
cancelled the post.  Apparently, though, when I cancelled the message,
Eudora did not delete it but instead queued it for transmission together
with the next message I sent. I saw it go out later. ARP!  I was, and am,
aghast.

To all others out there, my apologies.  This could have been a serious and
potentially dangerous situation.  I hope it caused no lasting problems.
