Good Point!

But, does it have to go all the way to the server?  
I wonder if there could be an updated index rather than 
physical address.

nk for a period of time, then
eventually do away with the old. (BTW, that's how the phone company handles

Not everyone is interested in receiving the quantity of email a group like

hope you're just having a bad day! :-/
