Yeah! Right!, that's the reason for the complaint. We shouldn't be asked
to do their 'scut work'. A request for the message numbers of the
messages that WERE received, is something that is possible to do.

Sounds like he expects YOU to agregate the data for all members of
'cadcam' that are having problems. Again, that's HIS job!

Reasonable request!

Also reasonable!

Ask for enough 'impossible to have' detail, and maybe the complaint will
disappear.
