Brandon et al.,
oops! sorry, my bad. apologies. I'm well aware of
this point. if you look at my _other_ replies, you
should see that they are Ok.
the problem is the MTA at work insists on adding HTML
"if you read this you are a criminal" b*s* attachments
(at least 3 bads!). the posts are (rightly) binned by
majordomo. so I've been posting from my gmail account
(mostly), which is not intended for my work. that's
my private life, @&*%$(^! so the posts go to my work
account, and hence I must manually transfer data such
as the CC's:
list/cc ---> work --(fwd/reply, no cc)--> \
gmail --(compose reply, add cc)--> list+cc
this is also why the threading is (probably) broken,
and may be the reason for the "Re: Re: ..." nonsense
(albeit I'm not sure just how that happens?), and/or
sometimes replying to the "wrong" e-address. ;-(
I simply forgot. sorry! (this reply's from home,
so I don't have at-hand the data you asked for.
tomorrow.) and yes, I know this reply is OT & long.
cheers!
