No. (It's a big number.) But "probable prime" (which is what it is) is 
good enough here.

By the way, you should try to write messages to SeqFan in plain text 
(your formatting is much too small for my eyes). And do not add 
attachments. In fact, most of the time you can forget about adding 
original messages (which seems to be a default preference in some mail 
applications), since most everybody still has those original messages 
in their mailboxes: It's just wasted space.

However, sometimes a small quotation from the message you are replying 
to helps you to say less and helps others to understand more. :)
