Yes, sorry about that, this is what I get for having two mutt sessions
open at the same time. I ended up reading one patch and replying to the other.

I suppose we can live with the breakage for 2.6.36 given that it's just
enforcing behaviour that shouldn't have been relied upon in the first

for 2.6.37, and people that invariably care about it on 2.6.36 will just
end up backporting anyways.
