RE: [pbmserv-dev] on another note...

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried that, but if the server picks up a move
out of order, it doesn't wait and process it later, it gives an error.

Of course by resending the same email eventually all the moves would be
processed, but ones mailbox would be awfully full of error messages :-).

You might consider using "move#move_number" eg. "A1#3" to specify that
A1 is move number 3 in the game.
