RE: You don't exist.

["Versfelt, Charles" <CVERSFELT@xxxxxxxxx>]

In my earlier message, please ignore the "mailto" thing.  
That was not in any of the QSH and wasn't even in the original e-mail message that I sent.

My e-mail server interpreted "tsu8v5s6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" as an e-mail address inside the body of my e-mail, 
converted it into a hyperlink and added the "mailto."

Oh, why can't PCs and their software act a little bit more like AS/400s?
AS/400s don't unexpectedly convert things to hyperlinks and add the words "mail to" when I didn't put them there.

Isn't mailto: used for sending an email from an HTML client?  I find the 
response from the server curious but the mailto: is really throwing me.  
So you are using sftp to send an email?

Or perhaps I really don't understand what you are attempting here.

This is a standard error message from 5733-SC1, which is a port of an
ancient version of OpenSSH that's riddled with security holes.
