Dan,

No worries here.  I'm not at all offended.  Even though I started with
J6 or J7, I don't use it full-time, and so I know I have much to learn.
I learn from this sort of message, and I appreciate the time it takes to
craft them.

Thanks!

Bill

Gnus, my MUA, tries to be helpful and turn sequences like : ) into
emoticons, which naturally wreaks havoc with J.  Now I've found that
W-Y-a (Outlook-deuglify > Repair attribution) fixes those.  If there's
anyone else here who uses Gnus, I offer it in the hopes it helps.
