Not an MPlayer issue as such, but does everyone see the massage I'm 
replying to as a horrid mess?
I note that looking at the source of the message it is four lines, the 
quote, the thanks, the regards and the sig.
Or is it my email server messing up the formatting? It doesn't seem to 
be my email client as I see the same in Thinderbird, Mulberry and mutt.
