You can approve it using the "OK" mechanism, ignore it, or repost an edited copy. The message will expire automatically and you do not need to do anything if you just want to discard it. Please refer to the list owner's guide if you are not familiar with the "OK" mechanism; these instructions are being kept purposefully short for your convenience in processing large numbers of messages. ----------------- Original message (ID=6846CB6D) (36 lines) ------------------- Return-Path: <[log in to unmask]> Received: from MITVMA (NJE origin SMTP@MITVMA) by MITVMA.MIT.EDU (LMail V1.2c/1. 8c) with BSMTP id 5445; Sat, 27 Nov 1999 11:48:08 -0500 Received: from mtiwmhc02.worldnet.att.net [204.127.131.37] by mitvma.mit.edu (IB M VM SMTP V2R4a) via TCP with SMTP ; Sat, 27 Nov 1999 11:48:07 EST X-Comment: mitvma.mit.edu: Mail was sent by mtiwmhc02.worldnet.att.net Received: from donna ([12.72.163.28]) by mtiwmhc02.worldnet.att.net (InterMail v03.02.07.07 118-134) with ESMTP id <19991127164801.QYWS1865@donna>; Sat, 27 Nov 1999 16:48:01 +0000 Message-ID: <022f01bf38f6$cc68e540$1ca3480c@donna> Reply-To: "donna christiansen" <[log in to unmask]> From: "donna christiansen" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: TOPIC;SUP Pat's 'FIBRO' Page Date: Sat, 27 Nov 1999 08:45:21 -0800 X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2314.1300 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.00.2314.1300 ***** We finally tossed her off the list because she was repeatedly spamming other people on the list.
