I don't see any such recommendation; if this is true it would be very non-standard. Could you provide a reference please. http://www.openoffice.org/ml_guidelines.html There does seem to be an online form somewhere which has the words "YOU MUST GIVE A SUMMARY HERE" in the subject line, in which people frequently do not recognise that they are meant to replace the subject line with their own. I do not even know where this form is to see why they get it mixed up. It is possibly on the forums. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
