I've tried to reply to your mail directly (ie at dj AT delorie DOT com), but my
reply could also not be delivered.
That's why I'm posting it now to the news group.
(see my reply after the session transcript).

It looks like your server doesn't recognize my email adress, at least
the host part. I have the same email adress since 6 years and it didnt'
change.


Here is the session transcript of my undelivered reply:

You are pretty right, that's why I did not send them to the mailing list
but rather to the news group: so I was sure my message could reach
somebody and I didn't want to bother you directly.
I don't make a regular use of the news group because it's not so easy
for
me but it is a lot easier to use the mailing list.

It's right also that I should have send it to you directly.

By the way, in an other mail, you told me to try the following command:
nslookup delorie.com

I have the following answer: nslookup: Command not found.

All what I can say is that I receive the mail from the mailing list, I
can
connect without problems on http://www.delorie.com
I will try today to send another mail to the mailing list.

Sincerely yours,
Olivier.
