>Hi,
>I just got this . . .

Thanks for sharing this horrible news.

I wish I had known about the seriousness of this depressions.
Last night I took the time to reread the personal mail and email
we've had over the last 5 or 6 years. And his mood changes were
there. When you know.

I really feel terrible now about the email conversation Wolfgang
and I (and for a part Bo) had on the 7th of August. Maybe, if only
I would have realized.....

[Mika: in Bo's fwd from yesterday Guido was mentioned twice and you
 were left out, so I don't know whether you already heard. I'll just
 quote the full text.]
