It was not a bounce.  It was simply a NeXTmail message.  I do not bounce
anything.  I just wanted to see if you had (or used) a NeXT.

And I stand corrected, there is a NeXTstep Mime grazer, that has been pointed
out to me by a number of e-mailers, thanks.  I took it from the tone of the
original posting that a NeXT could not be expected to decode the message. 
Given the content of the rest of that message, it was stupid of me to take that
assumption as a given.  I apologize to CSNM for my hurried response.  But I
still stand by my comment that a 730k posting with content that has no bearing
on csnm at all was not appropriate.  NG or otherwise.

It was flamebait.  I did not realize at the time that I'd bit.  Again, sorry.
