Mopo, (since you don't have a name I'm giving you one), quoting the message you
are replying to is a good idea, but...
The lines above that you quoted were *yours*, not HP's. You make it look like
HP said that. You should have said "I wrote:", "<Cmopollux@xxxxxxx> wrote:" or
"Mopo wrote:". I'm not trying to be the kid in the class that corrects the
teacher at every opportunity, but since you are apparently going to ask *lots*
of questions here you really should put some effort into following basis email
netiquette. I've noticed a marked improvement in your email netiquette since
you first started posting, but you have a ways to go. Here's a page with links
to articles and guides on list netiquette and related topics. Read up.
> Sorry I was referring to the archive search
If you put some thought into the words you enter as search criteria and spend 5
minutes searching and reading responses I think you'll find well written answers
to nearly all of your questions. I'm not blind though. There are lots of
messages listed in the search results which don't have answers and aren't even
for the exact question you're interested in. But I stand by my 5 minute rule.
Kris isn't the only one who doesn't answer questions when it appears people
aren't putting a little effort of their own in first.
