Ross, Methinks the document that Olivier hath called upon REPLY to unfold unto our bewildered eyes was but an instance of a most common slip indeed, whose multitudineous victims have wreaked havoc upon the MAILBOOK list in past days, thereby summoning shame and disgrace upon him who had conjured the initial message unto the list, and leading the contributors thereto associated to indulge into a reflection on the use and abuse of the REPLY spell, henceforth abiding by the reknowned resolution: "Withersoever thy fingers might be tempted to travel, thou shalt not call upon the REPLY spell in those instances where REPLY FROM could have done thy bidding whilst better serving thee and thy peers". :-) Eric
