AJ, maybe it was a beer cask size concern ;-) Anyway: - please try to keep mails on the list as small as possible in order to ideally make it easy for every list member to follow their content - please report bugs to bugzilla - if this is exceptionally not possible, send us email and we'll put it in bugzilla for you - if people really need to send larger content -> negotiate this fact on the list beforehand and rather send it by private email > > Regards, > -- > AJ Lewis > Sistina Software Inc.
