Thanks for all those who replied to my message.
I got them through my personal email address but the message I sent to the
list didn't, which confirms my suspicion that I am not receiving the mail
from the Csound list. What did come back was the following:

        If this post reaches the list would somebody be kind enough to mail
me personally. I tried a test yesterday and got the infamous UNDELIVERABLE
MESSAGE, but no csound bounce. Yet somebody replied to it. It suddenly
dawned on me that I have had no post from the Csound user group for that
time. I've spoken to  my provider and are as perplexed as I am. Any ideas?

Perhaps other list users have had a similar problem if so let me know (
personal mail) so that I can trace the problem and wring the appropriate
necks.

                                cheers, Per Byrne Villez
