Sorry about that.  We installed an "upgrade" of the mailer's router and it
doesn't work (obviously).  The critical time of the change and subsequent
gownless evening straps is around 1500 CST yesterday.  I have just returned
to the prior software and it appears to be working fine.  The good news is
that every message posted to the list made it safely to the archives (that
fail-safe mecahnism appears to have been working fine, but isn't of wide
assistance since no one saw the original post).  If you have posted and not
seen it (or have seen only the header), please consider a re-post.
 
Sorry for the problems and trash this generated.
