Dear all
Leonard, If you are reading this message, then you would do =
better =20
to open the one that is addressed to you personally. I hope it won't =20
have the same problem.
Somebody, may understand what is going on, so I send it to all. =20=
There seems to be something strange here, effecting all my message. =20
They return with "=3D20=3D" and "=3D3D20" scattered throughout the =
message.
I don't recall seeing that before, but I suppose it may be due to the =20=
fact that I am using a Mac, and some format issues may be occurring. =20
I apologise to anyone who has added difficulty in decyphering them.
I believe these also effected my links to the photos, so it should be =20=
possible to recuperate them by deleting the right sequences of "=3D20=3D" =
=20
and "=3D3D20". However, they are not quite systematic, and you may =20
delete, somthing significant in the link. I will therefore try =20
sending the links directly, to anyone who wishes to see Henk's =20
photos. It takes less memory than the actual photos.
Please let me know if this works.
I have asked Wayne about it, but I imagine he has other things to do =20
on a Sunday, I can't say that I blame him.
Best regards
Anthony
