I hope he continues to send answers to the list.  In this case, I
knew the answer.  In most cases, information posted here is new and
useful.
   I'm sure almost everybody on the list knows how to search the
archives, but there will always be somebody new who doesn't and
the faster they learn, the better.
   This is not exactly a high traffic list so it is easy just
to hit the delete key.
   The signal:noise ratio is very high--except for a note like
this.  But, us common folk need all the help and incantations we
can get from the wizards.
