I knew I should have tested that before writing it.  *grin* Thanks for the
correction.



(Pijus, by the way, your email server is doing weird things; when I send
messages to you, I get the following error message:

###
451 4.4.1 reply: read error from mail.virketis.com.
553 5.3.5 smtp.virketis.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX
problem?)
554 5.3.5 Local configuration error

You may want to check smtp.virketis.com's mail settings; it looks wacky.
Someone else ran into this problem when replying to one of your messages.)
