Try Again.
This seems to happen when people cc me as well as sending the response to the
list. My mail client helpfully suppresses the original and only sends me the
duplicate, which I then reply to....

Peter,
Thanks for the offer, but I'm now 25% of the way through the first drive. Now
that I've decided that one pass of random data will suffice, I'm quite happy to
do one drive today and one tomorrow.
It was the overnight thing that was the problem. If the PC had been in any
room but this one, I'd have let it run overnight, but I don't have enough
space anywhere else.
