You missed the point entirely because you went after the low hanging fruit, calling out "you read the rejection wrong!". Re-read my email and tell me why there was a rejection at all; why the email wasn't accepted as it should have been. If you'd actually read my entire email the first time, you wouldn't have answered as you did. You'll likely have to go for the fruit at the top of the tree to get the right answer. I've been on the top branch all day and can't figure it out, thus my email to the list. -- Stan
