Hi Douglas,

On 05 December 2000 at 12:58:20 -0600 (which was 18:58 where I
live) Douglas Hinds wrote and made these points:

Well, yes. Here's an analogy: "Forwarding" allows you to put a message
into  a  new  envelope of your own when sending it on to a friend. You
are  in  full control of any enclosures or extra notes on the message.
Redirecting  means  crossing  out the original address on the original
envelope and possibly scrawling on the flap :-).

Not IMHO.

I'm happy to use it the way I do right now, cumbersome though that may
be.
