It's nice that you send this three times, to ensure that we can't
miss it.  It is also pleasant that you quote nothing, so that the
message becomes a complete mystery to any reader.  I suspect you
also altered the subject, just to ensure the whole thing becomes an
incomprehensible orphan.

Look in my sig below for a means to avoid google foul-ups.  Then
quote, snip, and bottom-post.

Well, he did not alter the subject anyway, and it threads fine in XNews.  
However as to the other complaints, agreed 100%, judicious quoting, and 
posting once are desirable.

Search www.kegel.com and you will eventually find crosstool,
which is what you need.

Allright!  Finally, a google user who has learned to use the
system.  Now I don't know whether he or google is to blame for
losing the attributes!  I do know who to blame for that silly 'b'
though.

Uh..that better? And the "b" is a hangover of too much SMSing..
