loss of emails

[Richard Frith-Macdonald]

The hard drive in my laptop died at the weekend, so I'm running off  
my external backup disk while waiting for a replacement hard drive to  
be arrive .... and of course, as soon as I have no backup, some bug  
in my mail client has deleted all my email archive (apparently this  
is a known bug of the Apple mail client) ... *all* incoming mail up  
to yesterday evening!

If you emailed me something I need to respond to (or know of someone  
else who would have emailed me)... please resend as there is now no  
chance of me responding to the original.
