Sorry for the delay in replying, I get this list in digest form and
therefore it takes a while for me to see messages.

Well, yes, that's how I usually do code it, but bear in mind that the code
does work anyway with just / / - it would add the extra spaces to the
beginning of the value stored in the hash. Probably not what you want, but
then again maybe it is, depending on the application..

I was wondering, how many others besides me get this list in digest form?
