Indeed that was not the brightest way one could dress up a question. Let me reparaphrase it: has it undergone major changes on the mail side or is it where 5.9.0 is? It's a `yes or no' question, not a `read my mind' one; which of course does not mean anyone has to answer it, it just means nobody is asked to do someone else's homework. Anyway, thanks for your explanations. Massimiliano ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
