    Probably not. I wondered where it went.


    I think that's the first time I've made that mistake.

    It probably won't be the last.

    Unlike your bank account details, it probably isn't a lot of use to
    anyone other than you. I find one method is to have two different mail programs, one purely for your main mail account sans usenet, another for usenet and suspect areas like website registrations. Best to ensure you
    also develop a system for mailing that involves a double check of the addressee. HTH ;-)

    No - about the only thing someone could do with it was cancel my postal
    vote, but I cancelled it myself for that reason and reinstated it to get
    a different number.

    I think I'm really only vulnerable to this when using it to send a note
    to myself. For any other email, I'll necessarily be thinking about who
    it's being sent to.

    Time will no doubt tell as to whether that's correct.

    Nice catch.

    Sadly, it wasn't AEC humour, since my replacement reference number
    didn't contain that sequence.
