Thanks a lot for this, I'll report results as soon as I get
the first delta. From my past experience, the 10 p.m. CST
delta should arrive here at around 8 UTC...

However, I wonder what comes next: Will we have to add CRs to
the end of each line? Will we have to import each delta into
Microshaft's Powerjoint first since this is the only thing
Exchange 2012 will deliver?

Thanks again,
