In case my reply gets lost, I did get your posting.  And you are correct that
in most cases, the easiest method is to post to comp.binaries.mac and let the
news software do its thing.

However, if you DO choose to mail stuff, be aware that the preferred address
is

	macintosh@felix.UUCP

or (less preferable)

	macintosh@dhw68k.cts.com

but NOT

	bytebug@felix.UUCP	or	bytebug@dhw68k.cts.com

Keeping megabytes of Mac software out of my personal mailbox lets me deal
with my moderating duties when I'm wearing my moderator's hat.

The moderators at sumex forward postings to me, and I believe that
one or more of the moderators at sumex monitor comp.binaries.mac and
grab stuff that they haven't seen.
