Actually Thom this wouldn't be too good. Imagine 300 emails coming in 
on the day a patch is released - all asking the exact same question - 
and the owner of the box (who hasn't checked his email yet to be 
alerted that a new patch is available) doesn't even know that 'he' 
has supposedly posted to the list... along with 299 other boxes.
