Dear Leonard, The National Parkison Foundation publishes a vast array of educational literature on Parkinson's including a pamphlet titled, "Adjustment, Adaption and Accomodation: Psychological Approaches to Living with Parkinson's Disease". I'd be happy to send you an informational packet which includes all our literature. In addition, NPF has a new program designed to meet the needs of young onset Parkinson's patients such as yourself, it's called "YOPPERS" or Young Onset Parkinson's Patients for Education and Research. For more information on any of the above, please e-mail me directly at: [log in to unmask] Warm Regards, Melinda Brown Director of Public Relation, NPF 1(800)327-4545 At 09:46 AM 7/28/97 -0400, you wrote: >With the correct address. > >Leonard >--------------------- >Forwarded message: >From: [log in to unmask] (The Post Office) >Sender: [log in to unmask] >To: [log in to unmask] >CC: [log in to unmask] (The Post Office) >Date: 97-07-28 08:24:42 EDT > >The following message arrived with illegal envelope data, typically a >mangled address that doesn't obey the RFC822/976 protocol specification. >If you do not recognize the source of the bad header, perhaps you should >contact a Postmaster at your site and ask why your mail was rejected. > >Your message is being returned unprocessed. > >The following annotated envelope headers illustrate the error(s): > >Error in "to" envelope address: > > <parkinsn@[log in to unmask]> > ^-illegal end of route address, missing end of address > > >Error in "To" header address: > > parkinsn@[log in to unmask] > ^-missing end of address > > > >The entire original message file follows. > >----------------------------------------- >external >rcvdfrom emout18.mail.aol.com ([198.81.11.44]) >with SMTP >from <[log in to unmask]> >to <parkinsn@[log in to unmask]> >Received: (from root@localhost) > by emout18.mail.aol.com (8.7.6/8.7.3/AOL-2.0.0) > id IAA15504 for parkinsn@[log in to unmask]; > Mon, 28 Jul 1997 08:23:21 -0400 (EDT) >Date: Mon, 28 Jul 1997 08:23:21 -0400 (EDT) >From: [log in to unmask] >Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> >To: parkinsn@[log in to unmask] >Subject: Hello > >Hello, > >At the request of Barbara Patterson she suggested I introduce myself.
