Some AOL user apparently responded to this message by clicking on the
"Report Spam" button rather than deleting it.
Please don't do that. When you do, AOL considers it a complaint about NCDXA
and starts rejecting e-mail from NCDXA as spam for everyone else.
If you don't want NCDXA mail, tell me and I'll drop you from the reflector.
If you want to delete an e-mail don't hit the "Spam" button.
Let's be careful out there. :)
