Happy New Year! Holger (and ALL),

I thought about Jean when I saw the period between m and ta.

The period I see in his messages is from his using a Tab to begin
a paragraph, and it may be that his Reader is set up to do that
automatically after a CR/LF has been made. (?)

I knew the period in your message was a High ASCII character that
Multimail DOS wasn't able to recognize.
HMMM I might look at the message in MM WIN and see if it looks
correct.

 EV>I put meta into WordWeb and all it said was that it is a Prefix.

 HG> Because the word "meta" = fishing by rod and bait is swedish.

Because WordWeb has British spelling of words, I thought it may have
had swedish spellings also but it didn't.

WordWeb also has an Audio button which allows me to hear how words
are pronounced. I use it often when I see a word on the screen I'm
not familiar with.

 EV>     ^^^^

 HG> I should have written alone instead of only.

Hey!, I'm not that pickey, the ^^^^'s I typed was just for emphasis
that XP 'USES' more RAM that OS/2 does, it was my way of making a
Grin (or Grimace) at what I saw in your message.

 HG> Happy New Year,

Happy New Year to You Too!
