Oh, well... sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose -- and you won, André! I'm so very happy you found the correct german name for the column "subject". Of course, my hope was that my list would help you out somehow. But I was sorta taking a chance, you know. Since I'm not a native German speaker, one finds out (very quickly!) that the myriad nuances of the language can be quite tricky at times (hence, my "exhaustive" list of words -- that didn't even contain the word you were looking for!). Go figure! :-)
