The above was my text and because you didn't show this, now it looks like it was your text - which is bad. As you seem to be using thunderbird, i'm quite clueless how you did manage this.

Sometimes only quoting the relevant context and do bottom posting is nicer. This is an example on how not to do it: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected] Lots of unrelated text at the bottom to just let others know that it worked for you to try with a copy of Dabo. Of cause the talk about posting styles is getting offtopic. The subject "Dabo 0.9.1 ran webupdate now broken" doesn't fit either.
