I think what David forgot to point out here was your lines are too long.
I've re-formatted the above but your original lines were going up to 132
characters. Convention is 72 characters max allowing for a few prefixes
of `> ' to be added without exceeding 80, which is all that fits on
these punch cards.
I know it's possible to alter Microsoft Outlook to do this but don't
know how. Someone know of a good link to `configure MS OL for public
use'?
Cheers,
Ralph.
