That's because it's a template/form message... I just fill in certain values in a template and the email is automagically constructed. That template is due for a bit of a rewrite, but it still stands that on a kernel update it will show up since it's part of the message. On the other hand, using MandrakeUpdate is safe. It will upgrade kernel-sources and that's it. =) -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ Online Security Resource Book; http://linsec.ca/ "lynx -source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD : 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
