Thx Ted!  I didn't realize the patches were hard for people to read.  I 
will see if I can get those commands to work, and I will make sure the 
"---" comes before the version info.  Initially I had tried the 
send-email, but not all of the patches seemed to make it to the lists, 
so I started using Thunderbird, but I will see if I can figure out what 
went wrong with send-email.  Thx!
