[ale] electronic hell

[TxMoose]

Hey Sean,

I don't have much context on your issue, as I just joined this list 
recently, but it sounds like email is giving you some hell, or, more 
accurately, doing exactly what its designed to do... give us hell...

If you could give me some more specifics, perhaps offline 
(kyle at txmoose.com), I might be able to help find your missing messages.

What's the distro?  What mail software, top to bottom, was and is 
running?  What changed recently?

Hope we can get it sorted out!
