I have explained at length why this is a very inefficient and (for
subscribed users) annoying practice at least two times, and how things
could be automated. The first 2 years ago (1), the second last july
(2). The second time everything stopped when I asked you, more or less
"please let me know off list how your machine is set up so I can help
you to test the solution I have proposed". Since I received no answer
to that, I am now just sending to the trash all the threads born by
this practice.

As an addition to this, please everybody: bottom quote, top quote,
whatever, but remember to trim as much as possible when you reply on
public lists. Do not repost 100 lines of text just to add "I agree".
Thanks,
Marco
