[This has replies to both of his emails]

For the 'BSE' email, Rawat said:

You are right that the data on the BSEdata list is not the complete
Group 'A' list. One source where I was originally getting the
data from called it the 'A' list and the name stuck. BTW, I think
I can get the entire Group 'A' but I am afraid that the data might
be too much, especially since it is sent 5 times a day. There
is something inbetween - the BSE-100 list. Would that be
useful?



For the emails with today's headlines, Rawat said:

Could you say that again? I missed it. (-8

Hit the link.

> more details might be given.

Again, hit the link.

Including more details into this summary doesn't make much sense.
Because why stop at Forex and Weather? Why not some of the news
items too?

You can visit the webpage for all the details or you can subscribe
to the newsletter.

He or she could just scroll down the webpage to see all the items.
No need to click on all individual links. But I get your point
and will include a single URL from now on. Those wanting to
read a specific news items will just have to scroll down till
they find it.

The file name is a count that shows how many files are in the
archive. 1042 means that this is 1042th issue of the newsletter 
which at 5 issues a week means that the newsletter is almost 4 
years old.

YYMMDD would be more intuitive but is a tad difficult to setup.
In any case, the links to '[Date Prev][Date Next][Date Index] '
in the top half should let you traverse the archive if you wish.

Thanks for your feedback and comments.
