Why is the parcel distressed, I wonder? Perhaps it has lost its way?

The trouble is, this mailing list is for olive oil, not palm oil, and because
palm oil is quite different chemically to olive oil, it doesn't make a very
good adulterant either! (if I remember rightly)... you're not trying to
corrupt the good folk of OliveOil are you?!
