Do you mean documented? I think you might be slightly lysdexic. I
have it too, you see. Sometimes the meaning in words I read or write
spills over between word boundaries. I can usually catch it by
re-reading what I wrote. Of course, if you're reading Harry Potter or
Narnia or Swallows and Amazons or All Creatures Great and Small out
loud to the family, it's too late, and they laugh at you. :)
It's documented in qmail-local.8. A dot gets changed into a colon
when qmail-local searches for .qmail filename matching the extension.
