As the OP who received this message from Reindl
I must say I had no objection to it -
the post was rejected by the mailing list as it was too long,
because it contained a huge amount of (pointless) HTML code.
I did not mean to use HTML, and it sent me on an exploration
to find why this was occurring.
(I found in the end there was an obscure setting
in the mail client - KMail - that I was using.)

But Reindl has been very helpful to me on several occasions,
and his occasional acerbity is well worth the price.
In my experience he always gets to the bottom of a problem,
and gives precise instructions for solving it,
while many, perhaps most, posters give vague or ambiguous replies.
