Dialog advice needed

I am writing a new message because I am not receiving e-mails from this 
list any more, so I cannot answer to a previous one.

Just to save me some work, and to let the user see exactly the same dialog as before.
I think that showing the same item in a new dialog is likely to cause a slightly different layout.

Anyway, it works.
