Can the list owner filter that busy student's address so that she can't get

So I send a message to Sandee Loring, telling her what I think, you know,
and guess whats I gets back?  This is the mail header:

So--see--I figures that this "Sandee Loring" is a fig-newton of somebody's
'magination.  It's really the fax guy who's dummied up a return address he
knows don't exist, then tries to sucker folkses into subscribing, see.  And
I'll bet when those "nice young girls" call, theys gets your VISA number,
record the call, tell you the subscriptions is noncancelledable ("at this
great savings" no doubt), then hose your card for several months.

Anyone in NYC got an autodialer they can set to bang on that fax number?

I have never heard of acCordance for Mac and I thought I was pretty
current. Can you tell me who publishes it?
I have really enjoyed dipping into the discussions here. Thanks

Another "easy-to-access" (but obviously shorter) discussion of this topic
is an article by Stanton that occurs in the current (Dec 1995) issue of
Bible Review.

The article also contains a very good color photgraph of the three fragments.

Subject: Identifying grammatical meaning of cases 

    I've been prepping for my doctoral Greek exam, which includes 
questions like "What kind of genitive appears in the construction?",
or so I'm told.  In reading through grammars I have, I'm confronted with
multiple, disparrate systems of identification, and I'm unsure as to which
one to use, i.e., which one is more likely to be recognized as  
"standard" or at least known to most NT scholars.  On the one hand,, 
there's a pretty minimalist set of choices discussed in Porter's Idiom 
book.  In the middle I think is Dana and Mantey, which I first leraned
this stuff from, and then on the other end it seems, though I've only 
owned it about a day, is Brooks and Winbery which seems to mzke many fine
distinctions about what a given case grammaticalizes.
I'm certainly not ty
rying to critique the latter.  I did after all buy it on purpose.
Still, I don't know which of these systems or perhaps that of BDF or whoemever
to use.  I'd hate to miss a question by referring to a dative of advantage if the
examiner has never heard of that.  

    While I'm on the subject of cases, I'd appreciate thoughts on what type
of genitive is co-heirw of XRISTOU?  The definition I got from BAGD doesn't
include the word "with" which usually occurs in English translations.
Thanks in advance.

P.S.,

    Just to keep email to a minimum, can someone tell me when it is generally
thought that EPISKOPOS and PRESBUTEROS take on technical meanings?
I don't think they have it in the NT, but they seem clearly to have it in
Ignatius to the Ephesians, for example.
