Josh,
Maybe I am confused. It would not be the first time. I just can not figure it
out.
For example:
I sent an email on 2/23/2002 that got posted on the ba-autox@autox.team.net
list
at 1:51 AM with "Subject RE:SUV explosion - in numbers"
Which starts off with:
"Just for the record.... (and as an introduction to the list)"
And Kelly, Katie replied to it on 2/23/2002 at 4:52 PM with
"Hi Stacey," and some other stuff.
And Lolita and Mike replied to it on 2/23/2002 at 5:07 PM
With the same subject.
But if I look in:
ax-digest Saturday, February 23 2002 Volume 01 : Number 793
which runs from: Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2002 20:12:09 -0800 to
Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2002 09:10:56 -0500
or
ax-digest Sunday, February 24 2002 Volume 01 : Number 794
which runs from: Date: Sat, 23 Feb 2002 10:14:25 -0500
to: Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2002 08:31:52 -0800
It does not appear in either of them.
I would expect to see mine posted in Number 793 but I do not see it in there.
And Katie's posted in Number 794. But it is not there either.
In fact there are no posts from me in any of Numbers 793 to 802.
(Which is not a great loss mind you.)
And no mention at all of any of the very many SUV postings from other people
in the digest at all.
So if "ba-autox-digest" receives ALL messages to ba-autox@autox.team.net. "
like you said, where are those messages????????
What am I doing wrong?
I still think that it is a digest, like Readers Digest, and you miss lots of
content.
