[Isaiah Beerbower]

I'm not going to waist my breath arguing over what my app may, or may
not, be capable of doing. Since the feature in question hasn't been
implemented yet, you can hardly argue either way.

(:

I get smiles and giggles out of somebody who will compose a mail as
long as that to tell me something I haven't created yet doesn't work.

Well, thank you anyway for your "helpful" information,
