[Rhodes22-list] stan's email issue

[stan]

Peter, I rest my case.   The test email to you (below) arrived in my 
sent file with no issues but never came into my inbox as a List member 
(which I think I am, being an owner of a dozen or more Rhodes).

If /*you*/ do not receive this email, I rest my second case.
