Hi Everyone, As I expected, posting via the news.gmane.org newsserver with a spam-trap e-mail address (see below) didn't work.
I think this post, with my real e-mail address, should work. If so, please accept the apology below! If it does work I'll also find out if the e-mail address obfuscation of gmane works. Best regards, Keith Jewell -------------------------------------- Sorry to burden the list with a test message (if it gets through!), but at least this is an existing thread called "test". I read the list via a Usenet newsreader (Microsoft Outlook Express) and news.gmane.org (power to their elbow), but in the past have posted messages via e-mail. This message is posted from the newsreader and I suspect it will fail because I'm using a bogus, spam-trap, e-mail address. If you see this message you'll know that such spam-trap addresses work with gmane!
