Then tag as wontfix when someone reports the bug on lintian? Or just
claim that it's a feature, not a bug?

*YAWN* - and as you'll see in previous cases the debian-uk money is
spent for debian, as directed by our Glorious Leader, for travel
expenses etc for debian developers in the UK to promote debian. It's not
even as though where the money is spent and how much there is is at all
hidden.

Never mind, Mark, maybe you'll pull your head out of your arse one day.

Cheers,
Brett.

So, have you got a SMART fix, then?

Interesting... how sure are you that mutt doesn't respect List-*
headers? (It's been a lng time since I added any list config in my
muttrc, it's not been anywhere near as long since I joined a new list,
and weirdly "l" just works).

Thanks,
Brett.

DUS -> Debian UK Society. I'm sure this was obvious from a previous
post.

Interesting, I've worked with MJ Ray, and his name is DEFINATELY Mark.
Is it wrong to address someone by there name these days?
