You've defined the MTA method recently, but not said what the letters stand for.<div><br></div><div>And consider that the 3-5 minutes it would take for you to find an old email, when you know what you're looking for, and copy and paste it to the wiki, are certainly less than the 2-5 minutes for someone else to do that without copying it to the wiki, multiplied by the number of people reading your posts.<br>

...which I intend to do within the next few days, as soon as time is available.<br>
<br>
In the meantime, all of the new abbreviations that I've been using can be found in<br>
the subject-lines of my recent messages. Then, in the messages, there will be<br>
explanation of what the abbreviations stand for, and definitions of the terms.<br>
<br>
</div>That includes MTA, which has also been defined in more recent postings that likewise<br>
have that abbreviation in their subject-line.<br>
<br>
How hard can it be for you to find those recent subject-lines, Jameson?<br>
<div class="im HOEnZb"><br>
I often look up, in the recent archives, definitions of methods referred to in later postings.<br>
