Hello,

Thank you for your help.

I sent the email following the instructions verbatim.

However, I do not understand how to do this:

"Please provide a direct URL to your e-mail to the mailing list once you
have made it so that it may be tracked via http://vger.kernel.org/vger-
lists.html . It can take a day for the new e-mail to show up in the
respective archive."

Sorry to have to ask you..
Cheers,
Bob
