Well unless I receive it within a few hours :) I'm going to publish
the code as I have it now. The fact there is a way to do it via the
form (though if I was unaware of it previously) takes this from an
urgent priority feature to a nice-to-have one.
It may not be the perfect answer, but we can always try to find THAT later :)
