Your messages are appearing in the ODBC list (several over the past
day) and they are being faithfully answered by Vladimir.

Why not try the newsgroup interface at news://news.atkin.com? The
group id is sourceforge.firebird.odbc.devel

AFAIK, it's just the widely-used convention for passing a newline
character (ascii 10) in a string.

No; and I've also checked to see whether the list processor has
disabled your account, but it hasn't. The Sourceforge lists
sometimes perform badly on weekends, though...

You also might like to check whether your junk filter is being a bit
heavy-handed with list mail...or ask your ISP if it is filtering out
sourceforge mail.
