Hi, Yes, 'contact' is similar to 'reach' here. 'Getting lost' conveys more that this process is continuing right now. Clive

Thanks, Clive.
I got it.
But how about the "mass mailings" and "mass mails" part? Are they the same?

Hi again,

mass mailings
is idiomatic.

mass mails is not, and the word 'mail' is uncountable.
