It is probably my fault, but my mail to some people keeps getting returned
by the malificent mailer daemon.  You'd think if it can get to me, the reply
function will get it back to you, but in about 50% of the replies it does
not. <sigh>

None of these problems should be occuring.  There is either something wrong
with your copy of AW+, or something funny about your hardware.  Please send
me your AW+ disk so we can examine it, and I will send you a replacement.
