[9front] Mailing list mails completely lost?

[Tobias Heinicke <theinicke@bss-wf.de>]

Hi,

writing from one of my unix boxes hoping that this mail is delivered..

It seems that mails towards the ML now do get lost or maybe it is just 
me (out of order delivery is expected, but afaik no one has reported 
complete losses yet(?))

Anyhow I had send the following mail and it was never delivered (or at 
least I have not received it from the ML):

I totally agree with what Anthony wrote;
also in addition to all of this the change is half-assed:

Just looking at the diff one can see that there is
still the line with the typo "set an not used".

s/set an not used/set and not used/ would have been a
better substitution!
