Ok, first a little housekeeping. There seem to be a lot of new posters to this forum that do not have experience with mailing list and newsgroups.

Apparently this URL is being put at the end of the first message in the digest, and I do not know where it is being put on the individual message. It is inserted by the mailing list software, and has recently been corrected to work.

Also please reference the OpenVMS FAQ:

Please pay attention to section 1.3

# If responding to a posting, include in your reply only as much of
the original posting as is necessary to establish context. As a
guideline, consider that if you've included more text than you've
added, you've possibly included too much. Never include signatures
and other irrelevant material.

As stated above, you should not ever be quoting or attaching the original post in it's entirety when responding. Trim as much as possible.
