Unfortunately, I don't have an answer to your question, but... in the
future could you please refrain from posting HTML to the list? It's
common in the Linux and open source community to consider HTML mail the
playground of spammers and crackers, and as such, many either filter it
entirely, or at minimum use clients that don't parse it, for security
reasons. Thus, HTML posts come out looking like crap, if they are seen at
all, and folks that might otherwise have your answer never reply, either
because they didn't see the post in the first place, or because they
simply don't reply to those that post HTML.
On the Gentoo lists/groups, people aren't as strict and you'll often get a
reply, but it's still a good idea to turn off HTML once you are made aware
of the fact you are posting with it. After all, is your post /really/ so
lacking in content that it /must/ be dressed up all fancy in HTML to make
it interesting enough to read? If not, why waste the bandwidth and risk
offense, unnecessarily?
