But that is not what the initial criticism was about, unless I veered off course as I have been not following this thread in depth. The basic idea of adding color as being "silly" is a wrong, IMO. Now, what you ask is valid, but that is based on a cost-benefit analysis. Adding color has benefits, but it may not be worth the maintenance costs. It would be nice if the format syntax could support non-ASCII character sequences without munging them since I think this will be useful beyond including ANSI escape sequences. If the whole color push motivates some to to make it happen, more power to them. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
