You're quite welcome!  I haven't had time to look into the project much, =
but hoped that you would find it useful, as you are light years ahead of =

email garbage ("=3D20") in my posts.  How do I avoid them - they're =
aggravating enough for sighted folks, but they must be extremely annoying =
with screen readers!
