Thaks, Glenn...
1.)  I wasn't aware of the separate group named spamcop (thought it was
a subject header) and now am - was wondering where everyone was...
2.)  As previously posted, wasn't aware one could/would want to edit the
parse box.
3.)  Thanks for the tip on erroneous Lart by other utility - guess
nobody's perfect.
4.)  Sorry, Mike, missed your post earlier...
