[Wine]cannot run Wine

Stefan, could you please post your mails to the list, and not to me 
personally? The purpose of a mailing list is to get input from more than 
just one person (the "X # of heads is better than one" theory).

Please subscribe to the list, if you have not done so, and then try 
replying to all recipients, rather than just the sender. This list is a 
bit unusual in that the From: field is not the list, but the individual 
posting to the list; only with "reply to all recipients" does the list 
become one of the recipients of your mail.
I usually change the order of the To: and CC: fields as well, so that my 
response goes To: the list and if necessary cc: to the original poster, 
for neatness' sake. I also often remove the cc, because who needs 
duplicate emails (one from the list, and one from the sender personally)?

I will forward your message to the list (via this reply), and answer 
there, after I've read it there.

Holly

To the List--- sorry for top posting; the real continuation of the 
thread is below.
