Tip for the future. Try to check out the online help before asking
questions here. The FAQ in particular is mandatory reading. :-)

This is the right list, just try to help yourself before asking others
to try. :-)

In this case, I'm not convinced your question is answered by the FAQ.
You'd definitely have found lots of answers in the mailing list
archives, which can be searched from:
