-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I was just informed that the latest FuzzyOcr version, 3.2b, includes a function (module from SA) which is only available in 3.1.4, not in 3.1.0. The missing module is Mail::SpamAssassin::Timeout. Currently, the only way to fix this is to upgrade to 3.1.4. I am still unsure wether I should add my own timeout stuff with alert() only to support 3.1.0. Maybe someone else here has a better idea :) Chris decoder wrote: > Hello, > > > I just uploaded FuzzyOcr 2.3b to the download site.
