No worries, it's a feature of gmail but I try to avoid it on lists.

Thanks for those pointers, but I do not expect to be able to look at
this anytime soon (got to source parts for a new server for my home
and get all my data copied to a bigger RAID, which will take several
days) as well as the usual updates to packages.

On my current backlog of photos it is very rarely a straight 0, +1,
-1 set of exposure - more like +0.33 +2.33 -1.67 or sometimes +2 +4
-0 on back-lit pics, but occasionally with a smaller range.  But I'll
try to find time to look at those suggestions.  One day.

Cheers.
