    Well the webkahuna.com server, as far as Navigation-l is concerned, is not
    set up to
    store or archive messages. The messages posted to Nav-L go to the server
    and are
    reflected to the Nav-l membership. But between there and you is another
    matter.
    Especially in this day of multi-spam protection.

    I think you guys are spoiled ;^)
