Of late, the FML was having a problem with the mailer running so
fast that it would intermangle articles.  I fixed that.  Or, so I
thought.  The next article is one that I just received, and as
you can see, it got intermangled with something.  However, the
intermangling is with a message I should *NOT* have received at
this machine at all - it has nothing to do with ferrets - indeed,
I haven't a clue what the beginning of this message is about at all.
 
My internet provider had problems over the Easter weekend with running
out of space, and long-delayed mail.
 
I believe what happened is that my Internet provider's space problem
caused a mail message to be intermangled *there*.  The Fournier article
arrived first, then was partially overwritten by a FML article, and
the envelope To: address got reset to ferret-list.  The subsequent
message was already a part of the first message *before* it got to
my machine.  And my machine's mail log verify that.
 
Whoever it was, please resend your message.
 
I'll get onto uunet.ca's case now.
