Hi David. I'll just have to run with this then. Spam from the Debian list is 
minimal, so I'll have to keep an eye on what's turning up in my "spamcheck" 
mailbox.

Anyway I think I've progressed a bit, thanks to you, so we'll see how it goes 
in the next few days, and hoping for a few spams from the Debian list to 
check this out.

Nigel.
