Yeah, well, some things we can't help. Like I can't help being a
crotchety old bastard sometimes. Sorry, and thanks for the explanation.

I realise there is no chance your mail admins will remove the useless
disclaimer, but could you ask them to put a "-- " line above it? That
way us folks with mailers that at least attempt standards-compliance
don't have to delete it from our replies (or, even worse, forget to, and
leave multiple copies in - yes, we do all make mistakes, and sadly I'm
no exception).

I did at least forbear from writing back pointing out I wasn't the
intended recipient, etc., etc. :-)

Anyway, glad you got a pointer to the solution from Dennis.
