You don't think I am *what*? If you would post properly, we'd know
what you were talking about?

FWIW few servers these days retain even plain text for more than a few
days. And even if they did, so what? I need to track down what roose

he'd retained context in the first place, he'd have saved everyone
lots of strife.
