I see.  In that case I'll upgrade to the latest stable php-5.3.*, will  
that be satisfactory?  As I mentioned above, upgrading beyond that  
will be a harder and longer proposition, and my users are whinging now  
:(

Also, given that I now have two messages that appear largely  
structurally equivalent but behave differently in this regard, I  
wonder if it might not actually be a JavaScript issue?  Just a  
thought... the reply pages generate a few ReferenceError warnings  
(just uninitialised variables I think), but no full-on errors.  When I  
get near some other browsers I'll test on them too to explore this.
