Ah, very nice, 2 taps beats my four, or six for :noh.
For my previous mail, note that, as best I can tell, 'contained' is
broken by the use of 'contains=ALLBUT,...' in various other syntax files
like C and C++ (please tell me how I'm mistaken). I have a
clean_cpp.vim I use to switch to 'contains=TOP' instead.
Anyhow, for kicks I've extended my odd_space.vim to show spaces that
aren't tab aligned by 4. These are recent changes, so I haven't perused
a lot of source to see if it causes any odd corner cases.

I prefer "/;;" to turn off highlighting. the keys are right next to each
other and never happen in any languages I use.
For spaces, maybe not exactly the same thing, but I have a .vim to color
every three out of four leading spaces as magenta underline (in a
non-expandtab file). The file also points out a lot of other spacing issues.
Activate this anywhere that doesn't have a strict real-tab rule and
you'll see all the inconsistancies light up. The blue underlines
between words are ok and just there to help line up widely spaced tables.
I should probably add something to ignore the two spaces between
sentences in prose.

It works fine in non-gui mode. It's just in -g or gvim mode that the iconstring appears to be unrecognized. I'd just like to know if there is some compile option that I'm missing or if maybe X11 iconstring support isn't actually implemented. -- Jason Weber

Assuming this works, I've found my problem. I was receiving vim postings through an alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] while I always send from [EMAIL PROTECTED] I re-subscribed and noticed the difference in the header of a duplicate message. As for the spam folder, I meant does anyone admin'ing the list look through the rejects to see if anyone is making honest mistakes? Imagining the mountains of spam that must come through, I'm guessing no. That's ok. No complaints, now that I see what's going on. -- Jason Weber
