I'm well aware of this point. if you look at my _other_ replies, you should see that they are Ok. the problem is the MTA at work insists on adding HTML "if you read this you are a criminal" b*s* attachments (at least 3 bads!). the posts are (rightly) binned by majordomo. so I've been posting from my gmail account (mostly), which is not intended for my work. that's my private life, @&*%$(^! so the posts go to my work account, and hence I must manually transfer data such as the CC's: list/cc ---> work --(fwd/reply, no cc)--> \ gmail --(compose reply, add cc)--> list+cc this is also why the threading is (probably) broken, and may be the reason for the "Re: Re: ..." nonsense (albeit I'm not sure just how that happens?), and/or sometimes replying to the "wrong" e-address. ;-( I simply forgot. sorry! (this reply's from home, so I don't have at-hand the data you asked for. tomorrow.) and yes, I know this reply is OT & long. cheers! -blf- -- “How many surrealists does it take to | Brian Foster change a lightbulb?
