Yes. Which was precisely my interest in raising the question. I'd like to
say more here, in response to your two excellent recent posts on the thread,
but, apart from the fact that I'm desperately trying to take a 'lazy
Sunday', unfortunately my version of Outlook Express/Internet Explorer keeps
demanding that I install Chinese Language Support whenever I attempt to open
one of your messages. Which makes life rather difficult. Ironic, eh?
