[Rhodes22-list] Permission to come aboard?

Tue Mar 31 13:03:07 EDT 2015

Hi Mike - I was unclear. I was speaking of attachments to messages I found
on the site, which contained old nabble, and which I was unable to open.
Mary Lou has reassured me by being equally unable to open them, but she
offered a method for searching out the originals.

Thanks,

Jefferson
