No problem here. You've complained in the past about email issues nobody
else sees. I think it's your email client. The OP apparently uses Yahoo
webmail, which is fairly benign and certainly commonplace.

I agree with Olin here(at least as far as libraries go. I don't like
Eagle, but at least I am not forced to use it). Even in expensive PCB CAD
packages, the libraries are usually far from perfect. I treat the library
editor as one of the first parts of the learning curve.

Cheerful regards,
