And again, i think you are wrong. The problem is *why* they are doing this *today*. They want proper identifiable bounce handling, for example. Other than that certain things have personalized headers. Other than that, and that is what *i* see *mostly*, of course *single transaction* is used within a *single session*, because you avoid sending the message DATA multiple times. And if not *today*, it should be reenabled for *tomorrow*. Mutilating this away from the base protocol because of a snapshot in time and space does not seem to go to the right direction. To end this with a general statement on the quality of discussions that happen on this list. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) | |During summer's humble, here's David Leonard's grumble | |The black bear, The black bear, |blithely holds his own holds himself at leisure |beating it, up and down tossing over his ups and downs with pleasure | |Farewell, dear collar bear _______________________________________________ Ietf-dkim mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
