I looked at the same worded response from Gary 4 days ago, and here are my observations: In both the messages the original text is not displayed, and the same text is used in the reply. This indicates to me it is an automatically sent message based on some filter rule.
In more cases, I see an email from Colin where 'Colin Brendemuehl' is the sender, and there is not response from Gary. In both cases there is also a message from Colin with 'collinb' as the sender (same email address though) and in both cases the flame email is a response of that email. (My email client, KMail, shows which email is a reply to which email) So this further strengthens my impression Gary has set up a filter to send this flame email when the email is send by 'collinb'. I didn't discovere why he did that, my email program didn't tell me that yet. -- Frits W�thrich Pentaxianado On Friday 14 March 2003 22:48, frank theriault wrote: > Hi, Lukasz, > > It is something of a puzzlement, isn't it?
