Thanks for the explanation. As long as I know how it operates, I can 
always look in the Sent Mail folder to find what I originally sent.

I'll probably be quiet for a while. I have my new backend and frontends 
all on V29 and stable for now. Unless I can help someone else, I'll just 
observe for a while. I'll continue to fix typos and other mistakes on my 
blog that documents what I did so I can repeat it if necessary.  I've 
always found that if you document something, you minimize the likelihood 
of computer ghosts messing with you, since they know you can recover 
quickly.  :-)

Thanks, again
