Hello again Civileme,
Check out the header info on the message. I'm not sure I've done it right,
but at the very least I'm not getting message back. I would, however, like
to know the correct way to use this thing at yi.org that I've signed up
for. There is precious little information there for someone who is
somewhat new to what's going on and what I've started doing with my
machine.
Can elaborate a little bit about what's going on there and what it's all
about?
