I've heard from one gent who can't get those observations
to work. Both on-line and Windows Find_Orb are telling him
there aren't any observations in all that text.
I strongly suspect e-mail client mangling. That happens
sufficiently often that Find_Orb will attempt to "fix"
lines that are almost, but not quite, recognizably MPC
observations. But some mangling is too much for it.
I've put the data in question here :

Download that and cut/paste _that_ into Find_Orb, online
or installed, and it ought to work Just Fine.
