Greetings Richard: Yes I did and it is about 35mS
faster than the original.. I guess I was confused that the
Administrator was "allowed" to turn off the ping ANSWER.. I'd never
seen that before. I suspect it's done to minimize spurious pings for
hours, whatever.. I, now, remember we had that problem with Ham AX25.
Any way - my learning process continues, eh?

UtHo: I had no idea my Reply To: field was wrong in
the past.. I have changed nothing. It's in, and has been for some
time, in my .muttrc file.. Let me make a quick check: According to
the date I've not made a change to .muttrc since November 2001.. Did
you warn me before??
Vy 73, and, as usual - appreciate!!
