  Sorry. I was replying via Gmane. If this breaks the thread again,
  it'll be the last time.

  OK, thanks. I subscribed to it, and turned mail delivery on for both
  lists. Hopefully I can avoid screwing things up that way, and remember
  to snip irrelevant text. :)

  I just didn't want to be a bother, I know the developers have their
  hands full already. But thinking about it, this is only the 2nd or 3rd

  Take care,
