Cheers, Ross </pre> </blockquote> <p>Thanks for the link, Ross. At least now I understand that it's not my set-up per se, but an issue that someone upstream needs to resolve (if that's their desire). I guess I'll just have to live with it for now and hope for a change. (I've never had this problem in the past, that's why I thought it was my set-up and not a general issue.)</p> <p> </p> <p>brian</p> <div> </div> </body></html>
