May i ask the people here not to hijack threads? Ie do NOT press reply on a random mail and change the subject completely. The better mail clients support threading which means that mails that are a reply to another are sorted directly after that. Which gives a convenient way to keep conversations together. This helps enormously to read mailinglists with a many parallel discussions such as time-nuts. If you now reply to a random message, then your mail ends up in a completely unrelated discussion, and might be burried there between other mails where noone looks. Instead of replying to the mail, right-click on the email adress of the mailinglist and select "compose mail to" (or what your mail client calls it). This will create a new mail that does not reference any other mail and thus will start a new discussion.
