Speaking as postmaster for a site full of bad typists, I find being
the receiver of undeliverable mail a fascinating way to study the
mating habits of academics.  This is requires special delicacy in
handling when paragraph one of the letter contains high-priority
work-oriented data, but paragraph two is a graphic description of
the senders intent for the upcoming weekend.  Should I correct and
forward?  Inform the sender?  Decisions, decisions.
