Thanks Peter. I have only been a moderator for AOO since 2010, so my first move was to forward the non-subscribed user to: <users...@openoffice.org> which returned the error:
"Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=mx1-lw-eu.apache.org type=AAAA: Host not found" I only understand a couple of hundred words in German and have almost zero comprehension of German grammar. So, in an attempt to assist someone who appeared to be a long term user of our software I appealed to German speaking subscribers to this list for assistance.
