I don't think you can. That's the problem with email - you don't know who it's coming from. That's why we get so much spam. However, it looks like you want to send your address from work, so your home computer can contact your work computer. Surely you can just embed the ip address in the mail yo

Yes, as Andreas shows, there problem is when the try block returns an unset! value. eg: >> if error? err: try [print "hi"][] hi ** Script Error: err needs a value ** Near: if error? err: try [print "hi"] Why did that happen? try does the code block, and returns the last value, or an armed error!

Well, I would assume you would catch the error, and then try to apply your own parse rules. You would have to try to split paths up, then reapply the load/catch/try-to-parse cycle on the pieces. Or your code could avoid path notation altogether, using pick, eg. pick d i._x then you don't have to
