1) It's not usually done to send attachments to mailing lists. A list such as this is a text-only forum, where ideas and discussions - even tunes - are conveyed in plain text. Although there are arguments that many people are on broadband, or get free internet connection, as a policy it has some value, making people think twice about attaching huge photos or Powerpoint files. Your attachment is trivial in comparison, and perhaps hardly worth mentioning, but I thought I'd make a friendly reference to the policy. 2) It's not clear what kind of file it is. As it loads into one of my applications which reads Word files, I assume it's a Word file. 3) Thanks for your thoughts on this. "Captain White" - in the RSCDS book Kerr is given as the source; I can't find an earlier (Scottish) publishing than Kerr's Merry Melodies (c1870s). It may have been an import (from England perhaps?). "Rakes of Mallow" was reported at some time eons ago as "The Rigs of Marlow" giving an interesting question over its origins. Earliest Irish printing was about 1765 (Burk Tumoth); earliest Scottish printing c1780s (Aird). -- Nigel Gatherer, Crieff, Scotland Friday-Monday: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tuesday-Thursday: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted to Scots-L - The Traditional Scottish Music & Culture List - To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
