Dear all,  
Please read before using the archive. There are two issues you may run into when you browse through the archive. These issues are due to the way that the emails were originally written.

1. Some replies shown as a separated topic  
This is due to the subject titles of original replies were not identical. You will need to piece it back together. Fortunately, the archived topics are in chronological order and there is a time stamp for every reply.

2. Some text is hidden

Just simply press this icon as highlighted below which will reveal the text:
