Difficult to interpret, but somebody with the address
          gzgcec <[log in to unmask]>
made a number of postings to TechNet last autumn (or at least with a supposed date of
last autumn). Some of these did have attachments. I suggest you *may* have hit the
reply button and your contribution went to the list but also to the original sender.
Some of these guys put in false addresses to reduce spam and your reply has been
sitting on a Chinese server waiting to be delivered until finally it has decided that
delivery is not possible and it then sends you this nokandu message.

Alternatively, I see your e-mail address is c/o AOL. These guys are notorious for
losing and delaying messages. Only yesterday, I was correponding with another AOL
member who complained that a message I sent him in January arrived only yesterday. I
referred him to
http://www.aolsucks.org/
http://www.babeonhd.com/aol_sucks.html
both of which documents this, and many other types of problem unique to this ISP (there
are hundreds of other such sites, as well). When I first started on the Internet (1993,
I think), I used CompuServe which had similar problems. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm
not flaming AOL or those who use it but merely stating known problems.
