Hi Steven,
I did not want to sent it twice - actually, I sent THIS thread first, 
but it did not appear on the list (as we know by now, it just got stuck 
somewhere).
So, being a low-brow sap, I assumed that I had used the wrong 
sender-mail account and I resent it... -  the second time without any 
problems. As a result of this misery (and as you kindly pointed out), 
this question appears twice in the list, which actually does not attest 
me a broad mind.

But nevertheless, thanks to this inauspicious accident, I got some more 
helpful information from the mailinglist-participants.

take it easy
