So stripping cannot be done later on, because then the messages get stripped as well. Ideally arj should be switched to a sane system like gettext, and then this would get fixed automatically, but I've not had the time to do this. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
