Note that a display filter containing only white space compiles to a null filter program, just as an empty string does. As such, I see a filter with a single space as an *empty* filter. (I also consider the fact that no filter program is generated to be a feature, not a bug.) _______________________________________________ Ethereal-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-dev
