Henk
Well, I see that that the image link is automatically garbled by =20=
intervening letters and numbers.
I can understand that this is a security against unwanted images.
It would be possible to give a rule for removing these, but it is too =20=
complex.
The best thing is to ask Henk for his photos directly, should you be =20
interested.
Regards
Anthony
