I do not use wine, but I do know that 9.3 is pretty old. 10.1 is much more
recent.

Disclaimers like this are useless. I can not recieve anything in error.
All that I recieve was send to me on purpose. If it contains any
confidential information then it is up to you to keep it that way. The

So how do we know this message is official business of UMN? I asume it is.
