Welcome to R-help it is a bit hard to see exactly what you want without data. Rest of the explanation looks good though it appears you may have sent this in HTML and the list asks for text. It strips out the html and we lose any html format.
Can I suggest reading these https://github.com/hadley/devtools/wiki/Reproducibility http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example and then getting back to use with some data. The best way to provide data , as is described in the above links is to use dput() (type ?dput for help ) and then just copy and paste the results into the mail.
