Thank you for clarifying. I was a bit slow to catch on that you were playing
relay here - does hotmail reject errancy posts or is it the other way
around? Just seems curious to have to have a relay involved... anyhow

Had I realized that was the case, I certainly would have phrased that
differently. However the difference is insignificant, simply substitute
"skipped" or "ignored" for "snipped."
