That's my point - it will(I think) work IF your email
address is valid.
In my case, it didn't work because I posted using a munged
email address(i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]),
which of course isn't a real address.
Note that this practice is quite common, so anyone posting
for the first time to news.php.net _may_ find that their
posts do not show up, but have no idea why.
