I had always used the commands via e-mail and found that to be fine until one day when I PUT back the header. "Something else was automatically changed" with no traceable reason, certainly no command sent from me, and caused mystery and confusion until I discovered and corrected it. At the time I was advised that it was better to use the web interface. Since then, I have found that editing a file (Welcome message) on the web interface is also problematic. Even basic key strokes do not always work. And working on it in a text file and then copying a fresh copy over to the web interface was also a problem -- it seemed to"hang" everything, eventually "took," but in duplicate (an extra key stroke when I thought nothing was working). Eventually I get it the way I want it, but can take much more effort than just going in and making the changes and clicking Update. It would seem that neither approach is free from such surprises happening unexpectedly? Molly [log in to unmask]
