Is there a debian package of gcc with the repository mechanism patch from cygnus? I had a older version of gcc with the patch, 2.7.1. But I've upgraded to debian 1.2 and this version no longer works. So I need a new version. I would prefer a binary distribution, but source is fine too. --jc

Hmm. I've got a working procmailrc which sends mail from all the debian lists to ~/mail/debian, which is a pine mail folder. The problem is that pine expects this: ^A^A^A^A ^A^A^A^A between each message in a folder, and procmail isn't putting them there. This means that all 10-15 messages
