I hear you, and I don't disagree. It's just ... who's going to write that code, exactly? I mean, if someone wants to do it, have at it! Please! I'm just not that excited about doing it myself; if it was up to me, I'd make the one-line change and come back to tackle the problem for real later. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
