Kevin it seems from John's email that your response was full of information I missed. If you or someone would please resend it. Thank you.

James thank you for the info on MultiMarkdown I will look that up.

John thank you for your explanation. I feel like an idiot here. I am still trying to learn how to respond to the email digest.
