I'm fairly new to using the electronic mail system, and am stumped by what's happening with a message. I received a reply message from a person at the address of RLewis@venera.isi.edu. Unfortunately the mail I send in return in "bouncing" and I'm not too sure as to why..(I've read better spagetti code than what's below...|) If you wouldn't mind too much, please explain why it's failing and what I can do in order to avoid it happening again......
