  In the general case it can't, since there are an awful lot of things that
are not email address but follow the format "words AT words", many of which are
command-line options that we really need to be able to post to the list
without munging.

e.g.      ssh aaaspam AT sourceware DOT org, for example.

  Well, the first thing to do is check whether libintl3 is there in the
downloaded packages directory.  It should be in
<package-dir>/<mirror-name>/release/gettext/libintl3, and the md5sum of it
should match what's listed in the related setup.ini in
<package-dir>/<mirror-name>.  If that's the case, no need to redownload; just
take the directory across to the offline machine on the stick.  Otherwise,
yes, do the download again.

    cheers,
      DaveK
