Wim, I haven't seen a reply to this from Steve or T.C. (unless I missed
it; the XForms mailing archives stop on April 3rd). I think you posted
at a bad time when they were both out of town and off the list.
Can we assume from http://slappy.org/listarchives/xfmail/2002-April/002979.html
that you have solved your problems? If there are bugs in XForms that
need to be fixed for XFMail, it would be nice to get them in before the
imminent release of XForms V1.0.
Thanks,
Peter
