Dear Tycho,

I took a serious look at each letter and punctuation mark.  They are 
exactly the same.  I downloaded and read your help email from the laptop 
at the time, nonetheless, I was unable to reply from the laptop, so I am 
writing you right now from my desktop computer.  It must be something 
else.  I will wait to see if someone else has experienced the same 
problem.  Thank you so very much for trying to help me, and so promptly too.

Cordially,
