I believe that she knows exactly what she is doing. Mine included parts
of a message that I had written this morning. Joachim's had part of a
copy of what he wrote.

It would be fine with me if the list software were to be trained to do
just that. Kill mail with attachments, too. (But, hers did not come
through the list in this direction, but she obviously has access to the
list.)

I'm comfortable that this was deliberate.
