But keeping them in the middle       of the file breaks the standard, so I can't imagine why that would be usefull,       even in the future. But it's up to the developper. ;)              Bye, Wilfred.                     --- FMail-W32-1.69.1.95-B20140716        * Origin: Native IPv6 connectable node (2:280/464)    |
