Yes, that is exactly what you /should/ do. It's not what you /did/ do here:- http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-03/msg00055.html where you put your reply at the top and then quoted the /entire/ previous post beneath it without snipping the unnecessary quotation, and that's what TOFU means: TOp-posted reply with FUll quotation underneath. cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
