[WEB4LIB] re: non-text messages to the list

[Cathy Cox]

What's even more interesting, to me, is that *I* received the full text of 
the message from Mike, via WEB4LIB, just as you reproduced it from 
libnetcat below.  And no, I'm not confusing it with Mike's resend after 
Walter's message - I have both his original and his resend in my in 
basket.   I've had other messages come through from other senders on 
WEB4LIB where all I'm getting is the REMAINDER OF MESSAGE TRUNCATED 
message.  So what's going on?
