Dear Chantal,

Thank you for your prompt reply. Before I send you a file for inspection,
may you could tell what what you mean by "my files are in directories meant
to be indexed"? Also, if you could tell me where to check that these files
are not blacklisted in Foxtrot. I could then quickly check these two points
and maybe find the answers without having to send you the files.

Your support is much appreciated.

Best regards,

Sergei
