Hello again.
We have learned thru phone calls from oversea friends that we are no
getting all our emails. There are also mornings when I find dozens of
emails waiting for me although most are old ones sent again. I guess
problems of this type are not too unusual.
To answer your question : I have not had the latest one you refer
to below.
Vaughan.
