 Aaah, that explains a *lot*.  I now wonder what other silly threads I
miss now - uhm, forget it, I am not wondering at all, I'm simply glad
about it *hehe*

 I hope I got your quotes around the unfortunately right - that's one of
the main reasons why I have choosen that server.  It's not shitloaded
with binary posts and therefore quite useful to make up a local spool
without too much transfer costs :-))

 So long!
