Oh, I know I could do that easily enough - I was just wondering if they'd
realised somebody might want to do this and done the pretty-printing
appropriately for me.

My issue is that Jason (who I've been told is the web design / business guy)
should have either (a) been capable of answering my question or (b) when I
re-sent it saying "no, you didn't understand the question" escalated it to
somebody who did or asked me for clarification. That he simply failed to
answer it in the exact same way again shows a lack of clue that makes me
unwilling to use their service - support guys who don't are a killer for
a service proposition IMO.

Yeah well. Having established that the person dealing with the support e-mails
isn't capable of doing so properly, I'm not willing to have my projects on
their server either!
