Hi Raul I changed my J profile to receive every email rather than digest only and received your email which I am now replying to.
It seems that to reply to a post you need the original email to reply to. I’m sure that can’t be true as you’d have to keep every email in the event that you may desire to reply to one! However… Thank you for your interest in my text file problem. I established more facts and you can see these in a reply I made to another poster in the original thread. I have found a workaround which I can use till the problem is sorted out.
