I did it this way. still botched it. your order-of-operations heuristic is a good one, and would have prevented this mistake, except in this case, cc'ing Alexandre and Ove was an afterthought, hence the cut-and-paste boo boo. Like I said before, I am aware that a majority of the folks around here prefer the inlined patches, and I want to make you happy... so I'm compromising: small patches, or patches not intended to be applied are gonna get inlined. Big nasties are going in as attachments until Alexandre refuses to accept them. In the future I will mark all attachments for inline display, which should satisfy most readers, without driving me insane in the process. stubbornly yours, -- gmt "The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people" --President Bill Clinton, MTV interview, 1993
