That would be my guess Lisi. Someone mentioned a size limit in the last month or so, and I noted at the time that it seemed to be such a small limit as to be essentially worthless, but I don't recall the exact figure. Usually when I need to post a screenshot, I'll smunch it with jpeg until its being effected visually, and send that, which will generally pass at srcfrg, but not here. Which is a pity because the pix doesn't lie, while a text description can and does get lost in the translation between what I see and what my fingers type, and again as what I type is translated into the language the reader halfway around the planet thinks in. If that fails, I'll probably put it on my web page. How well that works depends on the mood the filters at yahoo are in today. It seems they've decided to excise urls from email posts of late.
