Dave, 

You realise that you are taking your life in your hands when you post to this mailing 
list in HTML?! 

As you see my reply is in ASCII because I haven't got your courage and I hope to 
live to a ripe old age ... 

You and I are probably the only subscribers to this mailing list that don't believe that 
HTML e-mail will lead to the end of civilisation as we know it - tread carefully ...
