Off topic, but Mike. When you reply to a post you almost always adds an extra RE: in the subject line. It's not a big deal, but it's a bit annoying. I'm an Outlook user, and I tend to sort the posts by topic when reading a thread. This means that I can read the thread one post after the other. But not your replies. The result is that I very often read you out of context. Intelligent as many of your replies are, I have to go to the deleted folder to find the post you replied to.
I guess it is you mail program that creates this extra Re:, but can you find a way around this please?
