That is my understanding of the intention of the code, and is the behaviour that my patch supports. BTW, did my patch make it to the list ? I have kad no response to it at all, so I don't know whether it will be applied to the distribution. > I'll put a note in the Gnus info file to this effect, and then we'll > wait for complaints to come in if it doesn't actually work that way. It won't work that way unless my patch is applied. -- -- Rod Whitby, Snr Staff Engr, Electronic Design Automation -- -- Motorola Australia Software Centre - Adelaide, Australia -- -- Phone: +61 8 8168 3526, Fax: +61 8 8168 3501, -- -- Baby Photos: --
