Good point! Those of us who use simpler systems (I actually slog through the web-based Yahoo! mail) often forget or don't even *realize* what kind of silent skeletons ride in the closets of forwards and replies. I'm sure we'll try to be more careful (I know I will), but please be patient with folk like me when we get bogged down in such things. :) And FWIW, I consider this to be a very appropriate response -- an aside, perhaps, but hey, the reason I asked the question was because I care what helps and hinders other folk working on the list! ;o] Paul __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
