No ! nothing like that in the outgoing message to the list.

??????? I don't see anything like that in what I posted.
Hmmm...and why am I seeing these capital A's with the little thingy on
top. I certainly did not send them. At least it does not show up in the
out-going message.

No, And I double checked what went out in the post. Nothing in the
message that was copied from the console like that at all.

Yes, that is correct.

Eben, Don't know why or how you could be seeing that stuff that I did
not send. Just ran it again and here is the result:

Dunno either. Can't believe you got lines that I did not send. I hope
the direct command that I copied from the console comes through
properly this time. Let me know and if necessary I will upload it to
the webpage.

OK, was pretty sure I knew that. Kind of basic. Your use of the slash
kind of confused me in whether I was supposed to use it or not in the
command. If I need to put it up on the web page I will do so. Not sure
that will be productive or not. This SHOULD be simple. Just convert a
batch of photo sizes to be used in COMPOSING a page.
