Neither Lancashire Polytechnic (p1.lancsp.ac.uk), nor as far as I can tell
imag.fr is on EUnet. There is an imag.imag.fr which is probably the address
Mike Higgs is trying to reach.

I really don't think this is EUnet's problem. We cannot be held responsible
for misaddressed mail.

I cannot speak on behalf of EUnet, but I am quite happy to speak on behalf
of UKnet.
