Hi, Phil and all.
Did you make it? If you failed, I think i can apply the patch for it (I am *not* subscribing to infrastructure@, now).
I did make the patch and posted it in an email to infrastructure@ on 11/23. It has not been applied.
I am attaching the patch to site/xdocs/dev/committers.xml that I created on 11/22.
If we do get this applied, we should change the Jakarta Newbie page to point to this for mail account setup questions.
Phil
