Thanks, professor. I appreciate your quick reply! Also, is it possible to reply to old threads that occurred before I subscribed to the list? I figured out how to get them in index format by sending e-mails to ezmlm, but it wasn't sending me the actual e-mails so that I could reply to them properly.
