[Michael Holmes <maholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

this was on the screen after I down loaded mail.  I was doing nothing else! 
The cut and paste, was me trying to get it off the screen to vim, so I could
email it, I did not know how to directly email the screen, so I cut the error
messages from the screen and opened a file in vim and pasted it there and then
emailed it.

All I did was dial up, download mail and then drop out of xwindows, and there
was the screen full of this
