Sorry for the froward on this.  My first attempt was rejected becuae the
email was over 15kb.  Does anyone other than me think that's so 20th
century!

Yep, I understand that, but the same principal applies to RunRev's
evaluation of whether to provide this or not.  I think you'd be surprised

aren't possible directly in LC.
