It wouldn't be fair to challenge people to find a message that
you'd added yourself to a program.  The "Okie dokie" is stock
Mail behaviour.  (You can also get 'Okie dokie' with a "~C" when
composing a message.)

More mail trivia - if you get mail sufficiently confused while it
tries to optimize a network name, it will print

	"Sorry -- dumping now. Alert K. Shoens".

I'm sure Kurt Shoens - a Berkeley person who wrote "mail" 11 years ago - is
patiently standing by, waiting for your call.
