Sorry Birgitt, but I disagree with your statements.

The original poster implied that they did not understand the message, posting the sample in German, and perhaps
an incorrect assumption on my part, but I assumed that for starters he did not understand German.  Since most
postings on this list are in english I assumed, again, that if he did understand German, we would have atleast
translated the text of the message to english so that a broader audience could aid him.  Having an error message
that cannot be read is of no help.  All I was attempting to do, was to give him a easy to use resource for
converting his messages from German to English.  Other than your critique of my message, I haven't seen anyone
else post for this persons problem.
