        ??? I don't know where you got that from. I did not write this, so I
don't see how I could fix it. Besides, I can't find a trace of the message
you're replying to on ding@.

        ??? ??? It's been *years* that whitespace auto-removing is the way to
go. Admitedly, it's been a while since my last commit to gnus, but this has
never been a problem before and I don't see why it should be one now. Or
things got really *that* bad since I took some distance from the project ?

        You have got to be kidding me right ??

Hmmm, ok. I see where the original message comes from. It's on gnus.commits. 
So maybe I should subscribe to this. Look. There should *never* be any
trailing whitespace in source files. If there are some, then the concerned
committers are wrong. Not me. Personally, I never see any whitespace
difference in diff's. Not even in cvs diff's (that explains why I did not
understand your complain about the typo on top of the message). So maybe you
should just learn how to use -t -b -B -w.

BTW, the messages on gnus.commits should also avoid displaying whitespace
differences. And something else: please don't mail me directly when also
posting to ding@. I'm on it. This would not happen if the commit messages did
not appear as being sent by me (because I did *not* send it) but by the cvs
daemon. And what's more using the wrong address[1] (@lrde.epita.fr) because my
patch originates from @xemacs.org.

Geeze, some things *are* broken :-(



Footnotes: 
[1]  I don't know where the cvs daemon got that address from. The ssh key
maybe ?
