I just looked and "Include Entire Message in Reply" is checked. Odd thing is
this time it did include the whole thing.

I do have both set up in Entourage. I'm in the Navy and moving every few
years it was getting old having to tell all my friends and family to change
my email address each time I moved. So, I had thought I could have everyone
(and all the lists to which I'm subscribed) just use my mac.com address,
which I would ensure is always forwarded to my current email address
(tds.net in this case--but, moving again in a few months it'll change
again...). That way when I move I just change the forwarding and all my
friends/family/mail lists don't need to care or know any better. The only
thing that seemed a little weird when I originally set it up this way was on
my tds.net account I set the email address (not the pop or smtp servers,
obviously) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so people would see that when they see my
return email address. Should I not have my accounts set up this way?

Also, I was receiving *tons* of email (all the MacWorld predictions etc.) on
the different mailing lists (which should have all been being fwded from
mac.com) throughout most of the weekend--so, I don't think that explains why
your email (and four others from the 4th) showed up suddenly. I'm sure
you're right the servers were down, but perhaps it was intermittent or short
term?

Thanks again,
Marc
