I understand your point of view, but I'm thinking of something more challenging. If I assume that he didn't enter his email address, he's pretty conversant with those technollogies (the first guy to install wifi networks in mauritius back in 2000) and he'd know if they had his email or if he gave it somewhere.
I believe this is something more tricky than simply sending an auto generated email. Any other views? Paul | -----Original Message----- | From: Cheryl D.
