A message left in invisible ink. Please post in text form, not
html, as html offers too many ways to mess up the message.
Please don't top post on this list. And don't use language like that
if you want answers, especially when replying to a highly respected
member of this community such as Dave.

Yes, but delete all the junk such as extraneous headers/footers as
I did above. It does actually make the conversation much easier to
follow than top posting.
I appreciate many modern mail tools do top posting as default
(thanks Microsoft! :-( ) but for conversations its much easier
to use inline comments.
For a good, fairly short, balanced, explanation of how it helps,
see this:

It helps if you have quoting turned on in your mail tool too - yours
doesn't seem to be using quotes at present (Quoting means the >>>
bits in the message above - the number of > characters tells you how far
back in the conversation it was)
