Haven't followed this carefully since my own early post, but the
directions are also nicely embedded in the headers (which is what I
actually use when I'm leaving on vacation, etc. :).
There are several places to dig for information in emails. Outside the
occasional hiccup in the loop (as was the case here for the OP), people
should get used to digging a bit when the time comes for things like
this. This is Linux, after all, not some other keep-you-brain-dead OS.
