Sam Heywood, I think your mail server's clock was off, maybe one hour.  I rarely
notice these things.

Win95/98/ME users whose registry is trashed or who otherwise can't boot in the
usual way might be newcomers to DOS with the rescue diskette or CD as they try
to repair the damage, retrieve what data they can if they have to reinstall
Windows.  Or maybe they have to boot safe mode to get rid of a virus.
