I do understand the reasons why it is a good thing to do. I am often 
juggling several tasks at once and my son refuses to allow me to 
concentrate on any of them so I can get wound up by anything other than 
the straightforward solution.

That said I do appreciate the help. Yes Colin the mail has gone because 
I had resolved the issue I believed and deleted it. It's not the end of 
the world, it is now consistently US format so I can handle that. It was 
jumping between the two that was driving me mad.
