[MlMt] Is Benny Ok?

[Henry Seiden]

Tried it out. As Benny said, the install was flawless and per other 
comments, the single column + Correspondence Layout with settings 
changes — shutting off additional columns, turning off the alternate 
row coloring – makes for a nice look. Agree on your cleaner comment.

Particularly, I like the two line nature of the Subject section.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
