Re: [announce] New OASIS Standards Approved -- DSML, ebXML RS and RIM

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Carol,

I received this with Clive_Akass@vnu.co.uk in the From: line, which 
would not bother me, but I recieved 11 times. Should  I not have 
gotten it like 5 times, once for each list I subscribe to, or maybe 6 
for the announcement list?

I hope this can be traced and the cause elminated.

Otherwise it is good to hear.

Ciao,
Rex
