I will try that. Though I am sceptical that it will may not work if the 
controller isn't picking it up at all.

I know linux mailing lists and Linux IRC channels are particularly well 
known for being newbie unfriendly with useful comments such as "use a 
different distro" or in this case "use a different RAID controller" and for 
helpful comments about ones lack of email ettiquete. I would however like to 
say a couple of things in my defence:

A) The quoting was probably not applied correctly by hotmails web front end 
since it expects you to top post. The reason i didn't top post (as per 
usual) was largely due to the fact that I thought someone would complain - 
in the same way as business people frequently complain to me if I don't top 
post.

B) I don't usually use hotmails web front end, I normally use thunderbird  
but unfortunately the webmail-to-POP software I use is actually on the 
server currently in pieces on the floor. Thunderbird would have quoted it 
correctly for me.

Matt.

PS I manually requoted this email, I hope that works out.
