Telnet doesn't work either.  I tried telnetting to grex.org and to
cyberspace.org.  I got the same screen as I got when using ssh

More ideas?

Sounds like "telnet" is just an alias for "ssh" on your machine, cmcgee.

In the Unix world, I'd "which telnet" and "where telnet" to find a telnet
client that isn't ssh.

The thing about Clinton should surely say FORMER president.

I thought former presidents were still addressed as "Mr. President"?

I got two of these in two days, the first with 'from' in upper ascii
and 'from' gmail, this one from cyberspace.
The last two lines of the message body were identical.  Out of curiosity 
as to what it might provoke, I actually answered the first one.  Is anyone 
else getting these?

Thanks.  Is it time to write some program to stop this from happening?
For instance, by limiting the number of recipients of the same mail?

No, former presidents are addressed as any other civilian would be.
"President" is not like a military rank where it is retained after
retirement.

re #221
In the United States, it is still fine to address the Senator as Mr. John
Smith, although the office title on the envelope may help direct the letter
more quickly.

For a salutation in a letter, we would generally write "Dear Senator Smith"
or "Dear Mr. Senator." We would use the same manner of address in person, that
is, "Senator Smith" or "Mr. Senator." While there is nothing "wrong" with
calling him "Mr. Smith," it is usually seen as being a mite disrespectful,
unless you know personally that the official prefers that means of address.

This pattern applies to most ranking officials such as mayors, elected
legislators, governors, ministers, presidents, secretaries, and titles formed
from these names like lieutenant governor, vice-president, or undersecretary.


When They are Voted Out...

What happens when they no longer hold the office? 

Usually out of respect, we would still refer to them the same way. While we
might refer to a retired Senator Smith as former Senator Smith or ex-Senator
Smith, that would not be appropriate as an address - whether a direct personal
address or address on a letter. It is perfectly acceptable and appropriate
to continue to address him as "Senator Smith" or write him in care of "Senator
John Smith." The term Honorable is usually reserved for those still in office.

For the salutation in a letter, it would still be fine to write "Dear Senator
Smith." "Dear Mr. Senator" tends to suggest that he is still in office. There
is usually nothing wrong with addressing him as "Dear Mr. Smith," but it is
probably better to avoid it unless you know for sure that he does not mind.
This is especially true after an election loss. Calling him "Mr. Smith" rather
than "Senator Smith" might be calling more attention to his loss - and
gloating is never good manners.


The Conclusion of the Matter

Clearly, if you have a personal relationship with the person and know the
person's preferences, you may use whatever would be appropriate in your
situation. If the senator is a personal friend, you may always start your
letters with "Dear John." Sometimes officials will insist on it. But in most
such situations, you may use the same appellations that you used when the
person was in office, though it is probably best to avoid Honorable or
Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms. plus the title once the person is out of office.

So, it comes down to a matter of respect for the office.  In the case of
President Clinton and President GW Bush, neither of them were voted "out" so
it would behoove a stranger to address them with their known title.
