Hi Ronnie Definitely something odd happening with emails. I have received this twice. First time time sent was shown as 6.34PM and time received as 6.34PM also. I replied to this email and I hope you got this reply, if not let me know and I will send it again. The second time I got the email it was shown as sent 5.46 PM (sent earlier) and received at 8.35 PM. My problem appears fixed but I would be interested to know if you received my reply indicating this as I did not get the usual copy to myself.
