Certainly not anywhere close to intuitive. And the explanation is even more muddy. "Needs to come last" - it is smack in the middle. "after the :crlf layer" - it comes before. One can sense some potential for improvements. Not the least in the documentation area. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esq...@sommarskog.se
