Occasionally and without any predictable regularity i will open a news
group post, does not matter what group, and my machine will
automatically generate an entry for it in the address book i do not use
and have had, because of this, an personal e - mail sent to a group i
did not even have open, this came to my notice one time when i had not
opened my news groups yet, i was responding to a personal e - mail and
went to send it off and the machine asked me to log into my news groups
before it would send the mail (usually i open my groups first, just to
see how many new posts have been made, then go to e - mail) i have since
trained myself to check headers and address along with spelling before i
send anything off. And even so i can over look something, on occasion i
have had the experience of starting a letter to a person or group and
halfway through the writing of it suddenly think im writing to a person
or group other than that for which or whom i intended and addressing the
missive inappropriately. Fortunately i discovered a "preference" that
allows the machine to ask me if i am sure of the recipients before i
send anything off. Its tedious and i sometimes think of turning it off,
but it has saved some little embarrassment on several occasions.
