Thanks, and sorry.

I collect messages with my Gnus newsreader, but sometimes to be faster I read
them at the web address

 http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.eplain

.  There, the `@' symbol was replaced by ` <at> '.  Thence, the
misunderstandings and the error messages from TeX.

It seems all right now.
