A couple of thoughts about this:

1) I think the command as I have written it works sometimes.

2) I think it requires a valid Internet email address - I think the
absence of that is what the error message was reporting.

3) I am not a MOO expert, so I might be wrong.

4) The MOO is a work in progress and thus is sometimes flakey.  Trying
again later sometimes works.

THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK!
