Ray,
I had the SF tracker setup to forward new SF tracker support requests to 
the leaf-devel list. You may have noticed ocasional posts from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] These were forwards to the leaf-devel list on new 
tracker submissions. I just changed this to forward to our leaf-user list 
for support requests, and post on every change to the request. New SF 
support requests are auto assigned depending on the category selected.

Our project summary indicates:
   * Bugs (1 open / 10 total)
   * Support Requests (5 open / 14 total)
   * Patches (26 open / 33 total)
   * Feature Requests (1 open / 8 total)

The backlog in our "Patches" will be corrected once I get our packages tree 
setup in CVS.

I try to monitor all of our SF trackers periodically. Note: I'm not doing a 
very good job with this. :-(

Agreed. Do you have an alternate solution for companies that add 
incompatible footers to outgoing mail?
