Thanks Enrico. This has solved my problem. I had tried editing this file 
but not by removing the .h from the C list. I don't see the 'downside' 
as much of a problem - a C header parsed for tags as C++ should look 
pretty much the same.

Mea culpa. My mail client is Thunderbird and have it set to 'ask before 
sending' but I've got the bad habit of hitting the 'HTML only' button 
when it asks. I've now added uvena.de to the 'text only' list so I 
shouldn't happen again.

Thanks again,
