It seems like this list has a lot of false positives, take for example php-mail-mime: | Description: PHP PEAR module for creating and decoding MIME messages | Provides classes to deal with creation and manipulation of mime messages: | . | * mime.php: Create mime email, with html, attachments, embedded images | etc. | * mimePart.php: Advanced method of creating mime messages. | * mimeDecode.php - Decodes mime messages to a usable structure. | * xmail.dtd: An XML DTD to acompany the getXML() method of the decoding | class. | * xmail.xsl: An XSLT stylesheet to transform the output of the getXML() | method back to an email It's manually word-wrapped, because otherwise it'd overflow fixed-width terminal displays. That's the whole point of double-space indenting a part of the description. Ideally, all packaging tools would support some kind of very simple markup language to support enumerations in a sane way, but that's a long-term project. So, I object to this massfiling. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
