True. I did put it in, but "quilt refresh" took it out. I send patches directly from my quilt patches directory. The patches file ends up being -exactly- the email message body. I did put in a "---", with a short comment about how this patch fit in with the earlier ones of yesterday, and removed the "Index: " and "=========" lines that quilt adds. But then I forgot and ran a "quilt refresh" before I sent the patch, and it erased that "---" line and comments, and reestablished its "Index: " and "=========" lines, as it always does. Ideally either I should change my patch sending process, or I should change quilt. I don't know which yet. Meanwhile, I am taking advantage of the hack in your tools that filters out "Index: " lines. -- I won't rest till it's the best ... Programmer, Linux Scalability Paul Jackson 1.925.600.0401
