No, it seems that my email proggie, "gnus", doesn't pick up the bug
report address from your email. I do a "very wide reply and yank", which
should just pick up every email address associated with the email, but it
only picks up yours. Like it has done with this one, so I've hunted for
the bug email address which I've included.

Is it possible that I have a corrupted font which is causing the
mish-mash? Do you know the font that "rmadison" uses please?

Thanks
