Moriens, thank you for the detailed explanation. At least I now have a bit more knowledge about how this happened.

I am going to link your post to the "main thread" which is

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/starw...nvelope-6.html

because the Lurkers have posted an official response saying they have cognisance of the matter. Hopefully your details will help the "IT Team" get their act together.
