Hi Edward, it seems that lkml has contacted both of my email accounts
and cripped them.

I can no longer recieve email from lkml on this account.

I can neither recieve or send email to lkml from my other account.

They have also just deleted the 4 emails I sent to lkml from the page
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/30/

This included one to you.

In case you didn't get it,... here it is again.

(Since you still haven't answered this one).

Tail conversion is NOT compression,....

So what exactly is your point?

By "tail compression" I mean plugin ctail40, but since I was never able
to get it to work, maybe its not tail compression at all.
