As JBG advised yes please don't hijack threads. It confuses me AND my mailer.
Other than that I would be happy to assist on the list if I can, even though
my programming skills aren't great yet. My advice is to limit your questions
though. Try to do most of the reasearch off list and ask specifc questions
when something stumps you or doesnt work as expected after you've tried to
debug it yourself. If it looks like you didn't try (ex. throwing code at us
with the subject it doesnt compile) or cant give us specific code with
questions to help on you're less likely to get any useful information off the
list.
Other than that, I hope I can be of help and I hope the list gurus agree with
me.
