May I give a gentle reminder to everyone: "Re: [GNC] gnucash-user Digest, Vol 222, Issue 51" is an absolutely terrible subject line.
Please, for the sake of everyone on the list, use a subject line that describes the actual subject. There are a lot of messages on this list, and it's a significant time-saver if we can use the subject line to decide whether to open a message or delete it unread.
