But that still shouldn't mean the functional and technical informations should not be clarified. Maybe the "two weeks or so" can be used to do that? To me, the basic issue is that "l=" consideration is not isolated to itself - other factors such has what headers to sign, reducing message content complexity, removing items that could be stripped for security purposes (i.e. HTML), etc, all ideas that basically mean "Know Your Target!" If we can describe it better, then maybe we can give the readers the benefit of the doubt they may decide themselves its not needed for their purpose and implementators a better idea how to expose the option to operators. -- Hector Santos, CTO http://www.santronics.com http://santronics.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
