Marco,

Before everyone jumps in and the threading of the archive goes 
haywire - I have started a new thread by opening a new Email message 
in my EMail client and coming up with a sensible subject. Replying to 
a previously posted message and simply changing the subject 
description also muntifies the threading in the archive.

Now as to the film holder problem, you have the right idea - but you 
will have to find paper thin enough to fit in the holders and cut it 
to size.

Otherwise find some out of date B&W film, load the holders and stick 
'em in the light, turning to do both sides and add seasoning to taste 
- a lot easier!

Cheers,
        Clive
