I responded to sejobud33@bitmessage.de some more, trying to work out
what they had done to see where the problem was, but I've had no
further contact. Both bitmessage.de and airmail.nz are actually just
aliases for elude.in, and the message style of the two mails is very
similar. I'm fairly confident it's the same person.
If so, it's rather annoying when you try to help somebody with a
problem *they're* having and they ignore you.
I'm genuinely happy if people report errors that they find! It's
important that people verify checksums and report problems that they
find. However, in this case I'm reasonably sure things are OK as
published. I'd like to understand how things are breaking here.
