My apologies to everyone on the list about the multiple messages - the proxy through which I was sending the messages somehow sends multiple button clicks in such a way that several copies of the message result. I don't know why this happens, it doesn't happen all the time, and unfortunately the only thing I can do about it is avoid sending messages while logged in through that proxy. :(
Further to my comment about PEC12. In the USA it's possible to get special wipes which are presoaked with PEC12. As far as I know it's not possible to get them in Australia - I had to import the bottle of PEC12 I have as it was! PEC12 is very effective at removing dirt and mould, and I am also hoping that it does a good enough job of removing mould that it discourages regrowth. However - the mould eats the emulsion so bear in mind that you may end up with blank spots on your film. It's *not* the fault of the cleaner, but the effect of the mould eating the emulsion. In some cases I would wonder whether it's better to scan the image with the mould on it, because some of the emulsion at the edges of the growth may be unstable - either way it would make sens eto do a before and after scan. PEC12 can leave a residue on the surface of the film. Other than cleaning it again with more clean PEC12 I don't have any suggestions for removing it - but others who have used it more may be able to comment. I doubt the residue would be noticeable in a scan but it *may* alter the contrast slightly. Others on the list have suggested soaking in PEC12 for particularly difficult grime. I've never tried this.
