Update: RE: [emergency-msg] Additional Changes Suggested byAlessandro

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you know that I WILL finish this today, and send out 
the result as well as upload it to the SC Document Repository. 
However, I obviously ran into a lot more work than I was reckoning 
on, so I am not doing two versions. I am only doing the version with 
ALL the suggested changes. So if we decide against it, it will be 
more work to undo it, though not nearly as much as making the changes 
has been.

Cheers,
Rex
