[SGVLUG] ack -- finally got "wormed" at work

[Victor Y. Zamora]

Hi everyone,

Same experience as below when I tried looking for hotels in "Assisi", 
Italy. I found the replies to my email in the "spam folder." I did not 
know that it looks for any part of the word instead of the entire word.

I wonder if this email will go through this discussion group!
