Yes, it was, and I answered it.  Perhaps you mis-interpreted my
response to your note?  In particular, see my response at:
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2002-December/007590.html
which appears to be the first reply to your message.  I said:

- You can set your business name via: File -> Preferences -> Business
- 
- If you want more customizable invoices, please feel free to submit the
- CSS code to handle it.  I'll happily insert it into the code-base.P

Right now the level of customizability is rather low.  However, you CAN
put the company name in there.

Heh.  Well, last time you wrote stuff without "checking your facts"
with the developers.  This time you at least checked your facts but
mis-interpretted the responses.  A step in the right direction ;)
