That's true. But my remark was directed at the programmers, not users. Program authors can tweak their engine settings to extend more just to solve this one problem. That's why I mentioned the settings I used, they are not my 'defaults' either. And it would be nice to have a verification. >A lot of programs also do not have the single reply extension. Don't know about that! Groetjes, Paul
