In the latter case the chance is lessened if the different mail is titled
something like "SPG-62.5 SOLUTION".

Dan Meinking's message suggests that for some readers
it's almost always desired to post a solution.

Yet another approach: if you have access to a Web server,
post the solution there, and post the URL here; e.g. "solution:
see <http://www.janko.at/Retros/Corner/Probleembladsol.html#R087>".
