OK, it is possible my end messed it up or that I'm just confused. Since nobody else hollared on the list, it is probably my bad. I did not check at home where I have a sane email stack. :-/

No, no. You are right. The mail contains all the problems you said it did, I just stayed silent because you had already said it. My client may be mangling things, but it works for patches from everyone else, so I'm currently sticking with hypothesis a) David's mail setup is broken.

OK, I feel the need to paste in my #2 favorite quote. Sorry for bending the "no HTML" rule, but the bolding and linking are useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

/The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,/ in a moment of reasoned lucidity which is almost unique among its current tally of five million, nine hundred and seventy-three thousand, five hundred and nine pages, says of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation products that *"it is very easy to be blinded to the essential uselessness of them by the sense of achievement you get from getting them to work at all."* In other words, - and this is the rock-solid principle on which the whole of the Corporation's Galaxywide success is founded - *their fundamental design flaws are completely hidden by their superficial design flaws.*

Never confuse motion for action.

--- Benjamin Franklin
