Well, err . . . umm. Looks as if I misunderstood something here. I thought it was OK to forward, as an attachment and SA/Bayes would "figure it out". I did think that curious, but, hey, what do I know? That's obvious now . . . Anyway it made it easier for me to feed bayes that way. Too bad it does not work. Looks like I gotta learn to Samba. I suppose I should clear bayes and start over, then? joe a.
