I wouldn't think it would be too hard, especially since - as previously noted - the Review Page and confirmation emails already properly display a checkmark and the word "Red" (rather than "Checked"), but perhaps not, depending on the code changes between the two versions.</p> <p>Please respond when possible. Thank you in advance for your help (and for your great product)!</p> <p>Joel </p>
