RE: [help-GIFT] Using GIFT

[address@hidden]

Dear Majid,

I answered a message sent only to me privately only to you. Publicizing this on 
the list was not intended. It is not considered netiquette to publish private 
exchanges without asking.

Did my answer to one of the previous three copies of this message you sent to 
me reach its you?

Best,
Wolfgang
