Hi, I posted something at the beginning of the week, and have received no reply. If nobody had anything to say that is fine. But I notice that my original post on gmane http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/84707 appears blank, so perhaps the no reply is due to a posting issue. Hence, I send the email again...
