You're welcome. However you had written to a support mailing list,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Please reply only to that address.
Please allow me to give you a bit of general advice first: you are
much more likely to get quick and useful answers when you write to any
mailing list, if you do NOT:
1) send email in HTML format
2) retransmit to the list the whole message you are replying to, but
only leave the parts you are directly replying to.
3) top post, that is type your answer at the beginning of the message.
Bottom posting, that is answering _below_ the original text, is much
more efficient for mailing list communication.
Reason #1 is because many simply discard HTML message out of security
reasons. #2 and #3 make much, much easier and quicker to others to
read your comments, which obviously increases your probability to get
an answer
Good advice, except for #3 (bottom posting). Some people prefer bottom
posting because they personally find it more convenient and others
prefer top posting because they find that more convenient.
Top posting is the common practice on some lists and bottom posting is
common on others. There is no single universally accepted convention.
