Unforch, while the yellow text used to highlight important items, like
the index and keywords, looks very nice on-screen, its virtually
impossible to read when the background color is removed as its
converted to dead tree format for use where a network connection may
not be available. Please choose some other colors that also look good
in hard copy.
Other than that squawk, it seems very complete (and many thanks for
getting this all in one of those proverbial socks :) and I'm taking
that dead tree version with me while I go out on a job for a couple of
months, but I'm going to have to take a magnifying glass to be able to
read the yellow text portions accurately.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
