Hi Stewart, The piclist is a great place. Some messages are chopped up because of the variety of email clients sending mail in strange formats, sometimes getting mangled by the LSOFT listserver software that runs the piclist. Actually, I'd like to congratulate you for getting MS Outlook to send email that is plain ascii. I read your email with Pine, which hates most MS emails. How did you manage that wonderful trick?
