Does anyone know where this comes from?

I am writing a simple little script to send an email to everyone in the office. I put
all their names in a block, build up a text string, and... send (address-block-name)
(text-string-name) To test this, I commented out (with a semicolon, each email address
being on one line of code) every co-worker's name but my own, ran the script, and got
the expected email. To run it for real, I un-commented all the co-workers' names in the
address block, ran the script, and got the expected email text PRECEEDED BY this (following
text) for EVERYONE in the list EXCEPT ME. *_*_*_* stuff I can't explain *_*_*_ To: blee-ci.bloomington.mn.us

I can't explain *_*_*_ *_*_*_ repeated for each addressee *_*_*_ Does anyone know why
that stuff I can't explain appears in my email text when I send to a block of addresses,
and how I can prevent it from appearing? Thank you. Steven White City of Bloomington

Steven,
I don't know - this is just a guess, but are you using a licensed copy
of REBOL? If not, this could be built into the free REBOL/View
version.

Good point, I have purchased the SDK for work here, and I wonder if the
unpacking process for that updated my formerly-free version of View.
I am making this response to point out that you answered my question
about three minutes after I posted it. Now how long do you suppose I
would have to be on hold at a major vendor's support line to get an
answer to a question? (No need to answer, that was a rhetorical
question.)
I probably can work around it by coding 12 send statements instead of
one send statement to a twelve-address block, but it doesn't look as
tidy.

Perhaps you should try
send/only [ addresses ] {email-content}
or even
send/only/subject [ addresses ] {email-content} {subject-line}

Thank you very much, "send/only" did the trick.
Total turnaround time, 5:19 for original posting, 5:37 for a solution,
18 minutes. That's almost as fast as the Acucobol support line, which I
thought was the second-best in the world.
