interested in your problem and might even be able to help, but I cannot cope
with this. You have not quoted what you are replying to, and there is no air
here at all. I could, of course, reformat it, but I would still not have the
quotation. You will of course get help from those who are not bothered by such
things. But you might get more answers if you made yourself more accessible.
Lisi I don't know why it wasn't quoted, I'm just hitting re
ply in the email providers web interface. Not sure what you mean by no air.
I'll see what this email looks like when I send this one, maybe it was just a
fluke.
