yes - "show" (it was missing). > % quote_indent and use a proper attribution (name+address) - ok? > *grin* Never!

No problem, though. well, at least my attribution contains the persons address so you can still use this info when following up to my mail. it is vital on mailing lists as there is no repository as there is with news servers from which you could request the parent message. with your attribution this is simply no possible - unless you have the parent message to mine. moreover, an attribution without any "words" can be used on any mailinglists - independent of its language. > % (and learn to delete unnecessarily quoted line blocks!) > Hey, I thought I trimmed enough. you send lots of quoted empty lines - didn't you notice? > % ATTRIBUTE! http://learn.to/attribute > % Summary: Name+Address of the author; short date+time optional. > Oh, you mean like that.

I am aware that the short date form like 020312 could be mistaken for 1902-03-12 or 2102-03-12 - but so far it has not been a problem. ;-) Sven
