Yeah, yeah Leon. These emails are from my work, corporate (read Windows
nightmare) PC, not my home PC...

Dennis.

	Am I to take it that this "Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21)"
client
	(Explorer's mail client) is not on your machine? (-:

	Usually, Windows does not heal over, but festers on forever,
producing bad
	habits like the stuffing of replies in at the top of email messages
instead of
	interleaving them in context. (-:

	syntax-directed Scheme editor and your pen-and-paper philosophizing!
	Leave the rest of us to our Perl hacking and .Xdefaults files.
