I have received the version of the July newsletter you sent earlier
today, and I do plan to proofread it in time for you to review it
before publishing it next Tuesday, July 8.  (I am now coming to the
end of the first week of a five-week trip away from home for a variety
of Early Music workshops.  This will cut into both the time I have
available for reading incoming email and the time I have available for
proofreading.)

When I have tried to get the English version of the July newsletter
from Webpreview, what I see is a version in Italian.  That I do not
have the benefit of the webpreview version is not an unmixed
disadvantage.  It means that I will not have to deal with a moving
target over the next few days as I proofread the English version.  To
paraphrase a joke about writing a computer program from a functional
specification, proofreading English text for the FSFE is like walking
on water.  It's easier if it's frozen!

However, anyone who translates the early English version will lose the
benefit of any suggestions that I make which affect the final
published English version.
