e-junkie also emailed me back (promptly) with a little info on how they
obfuscate the download link from would-be prying eyes. I am satisfied
that they have a reasonable process in place. However, for faint of

website. The concept of download links and email messages that get
caught by spam filters can thwart may novices.
