Thanks. That looks better.

BTW, your original message arrived here in today's download.

I have had several occurrences of replies arriving before the original
message. What could be causing it?

Ah, yes, I see!

I assumed that the same command would be used for both.

My reasoning is that a remote ZIP file is downloaded to cache before it
can be processed and as such would be the same as a local file.

Apparently it ain't so....

And can you clear up one point for me?

In MIME.CFG there are a couple of items that specified twice. Usually
one of these is commented out.

If I remove the ";" at the beginning of the line, which one of the items
is used, the first one in the file or the last one?
