I'm not an email guru but I tried hitting reply to your email and then
changing the To: address to my own email address.

When I received the email I viewed the headers and saw this:

In-Reply-To: <50233.68.157.44.201.1078770174.squirrel AT public.ibiblio.org>


I guess this has something to do with it.
