Hi,
I posted something at the beginning of the week, and have received no
reply. If nobody had anything to say that is fine. But I notice that my
original post on gmane
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/84707 appears blank, so
perhaps the no reply is due to a posting issue. Hence, I send the email
again...
-k.
