Yes you can, reply to it and tell everyone what mistakes were in the first one. That history can be edited is a serious problem with webforums; in the bitcoin community people keep talking about removing/changing the edit functionality on bitcointalk.org to give cryptographic and timestamped proof of what edits were made and by whome. It's been hacked a few times now and there's doubt if the archives on the site are accurate. Mailing lists are much less succeptable to that problem, and fixing it is much easier and can be done without anyone's permission - a good thing. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org 00000000000000026c4c027b8c680e2ff000b6b70bb10f70771b9a05868c613e
