If you can let me know the details (i.e. the contents of the Date: and
preferably also Message-Id: headers) of the message that is in your
outbox but failed to get through, then I can take a look and see exactly
what happened to it.

If you don't give me that information, as John didn't, then all I can do
is go looking for a needle in a haystack and *guess* which message(s)
you're talking about.

Mostly, the issue is that people send HTML messages instead of plain
text. If you've sent a plain text message, using the normal method where
you either compose a new message to get_iplayer at lists.infradead.org *or*
reply to an existing message *WITHOUT* removing 'Re:' from the Subject
line to 'hijack' the thread, and it hasn't got through, then please let
me know the details for that specific message.

Hi David
Thanks, but it's too late as I recently purged my *Sent Items* folder. 
<sod's law>

FWIW, my messages were sent to *get_iplayerATlists.infradead.org* with new 
subject line(s)
Replies to existing  sujects got there OK.

More to the point...
Some sort of reply to the OP _on list_ was what I was hoping for...so that 
we (well some of us...) could all benefit.


ps I never use HTML....I can't see to read it.

pps Sorry, but I don't understand all rhis Digital ID stuff either (and 
don't wan' to!)

:-))
