I do believe you! Though how on earth you managed to sit through what we were
saying, and especially what I was saying off list, without checking your
headers or settings, does somewhat bemuse me. :-/

you knew what your settings were supposed to be, so that is what you saw.

I apologise for misspelling your name. That is something I try to be
meticulous about, but I had never till now noticed the accent. Though I had
noticed that you do not use an initial capital.
