Hello all...I have been a lurker for several months and have been
receiving REC.KITES, via the digest version of the mailing list, to
my compuserve account. This is my first posting so I'd like to take
an opportunity to thank all REC.KITErs for the insight into the
flying, building and tweaking of my wind toys. Other than the thanks
to all, my posting is in regard to access of the archives.  I do not
have an INTERNET account and consequently, do not have access to FTP.
 The FAQ indicates the method to access the archive via email is with
the use of FTPMail.  I sent 'HELP' to [email-masked] and got
the help file, read it, and made up an FTPMail script.  The script
apparently arrived at its appropriate destination but indicates the
following about my reply command: 'Note that the "reply" or "answer"
command in your mailer will not work for this message or any other
mail you receive from FTPMAIL.  To send requests to FTPMAIL, send an
original mail message, not a reply. As shown in the header ...'   I
created a new message when I sent the script, what does this mean and
how can I fix it? Following is the FTPMail submission transcript. 
Would someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong so I can get
to some of the goodies in the archive.  Any help would be
appreciated.
