Grrr. Sigh. Well, it *is* in svn-trunk, and it's in the 2.0 branch. And Aaron has been busy reworking and expanding the base-documentation using asciidoc (you'll like what he's doing), and it *does* appear to have slipped from the release you're looking at. Humble apologies if I sounded harsh. ;-)=
Core of the problem here is unexpected behaviour. This is a FAQ if ever there has been a faq: dbmail-util will never commit actions without explicit consent. IMO _unix_ convention suggests otherwise. But for now _dbmail_ legacy prevails.
