I apologise heartily. I did not appreciate that it was a private e-mail. I appreciate what a majorly bad piece of netiquette this is, having castigated people on newsgroups for it in the past. Just for the record, when I respond to list messages using Pine, I have to delete the author's From: (or Reply-to:) line, and replace it with "sinister" (I usually change my own From: line at this point) It was just an automatic reaction when following up your post. I hope there is no bad-blood between us, as it was not my aim to inflame. I'm a lovely chap, really. Rod.
