That's what I meant.  It's been a year or two since I've used Pegasus,
and I no longer have it available to call up for reference.  I had to
rely on imperfect memory.

That's how I'd do it if I didn't have shell access to a Unix account.
This is the only way I've seen that will work with a Wintel PC mail

will not let you edit a "bounced" message.

Fortunately, I don't need to do this very often.
