This answer is sort of OT but your 1st message did come through to the group on May 28. Another great thing about gmail is that I could just do a search for messages from you. You will not get your messages back to you on Gmail, just as Jenny said. So a good thing to do is search the archives to see if the message is there. Marilyn
