Thanks for clearing that all up, Steve. Sadly, I can't see my own mail to the list -- as the list forwards it, with intact headers -- because Gmail saves a sent copy directly and ditches the copy from the list (I suspect it discards duplicates based on the ID). So my experiment was foiled by Gmail. :) -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
