Let me try that again.  Somehow, my previous email application picked an

No.  That sounds fine.  It wasn't clear to me from your original message
that what you were working on was a "quick and dirty" solution.  As long as
we're planning on migrating it into the main acctgen project, I think this
is fine.

I'll leave this up to the Support Center to decide.  The old PO would stop
mail delivery as soon as the account was suspended.

I should be able to deal with almost any format you give me.  The format
mentioned your other mail message should be fine.

Looks good.
