Hi Robert,
Firstly, you will have to make sure of the correct UID
I don't know the right way of going about this. In the past it has taken me
ages and I think I used a very roundabout way of doing it.
I do know that UIDs vary between distro's so be careful.
What mail client do you use?
("Internet Mail service"??)
Is it a web based thing or what? That P0 thing is very
strange.
I've cc'd this to the list, just for the record you will need to press
reply all to get the list also.
Good luck :-) ,
Zane
