Hi, Due to a bad configuration setting in my mailer (I was on road/dialup connection and I wasn't using my regular mailer), the Reply-To: in my original answer was badly positionned (and the CC: to the list was also missing). As a result, I have not received any of your answers since the original post (but I have seen in the mail server logs that you send a few replies), so please resend the messages once again. Sorry about this. Stelian. --=20 Stelian Pop <st...@po...> |
