Thank you very much for not only providing a solution but for your 
extra effort to research the matter to find this solution, even though 
you are not a kmail user. 

I am constantly amazed by the knowledge, abilities, and helpfulness 
of so many wonderful friends on the PLUG list. 

While dozens of messages were exchanged on this subject, once 
a solution comes forth (on many issues), it is often remarkably simple. 

Thanks again, Kevin.
