It looks like you're using Mutt as I do, and my Mutt correctly adds Followup-To header, but yours seems to not honor it. P.S.3: In the past few days there were several commits to the CVS tree, but I didn't received any notifications.

It's best to keep it on-list so that others can benefit from it. You'll have to wait until next week, alas. I have various University things that I need to do first. They're only minor things that need pointing out. And thank you and all other workers for this fantastic software project. I don't do a thing for FVWM other than a few user support things, and odd adhoc patches I don't care much to release. P.S.1: Where I can find recent mailing list archives?

yet another documentation fixes
Greetings everyone, As promised, I found and corrected another bunch of typos and other inconsistencies in the docs. Apply against the latest CVS sources of the 2.5 branch. But that's not all, more will follow when I find time to check remaining part of the docs. See you later. -- Serge Koksharov, Free Software user supporter GPG public key ID: 0x3D330896 (pgp.mit.edu) Key fingerprint: 5BC4 0475 CB03 6A31 0076 82C2 C240 72F0 3D33 0896 fvwmCVS_docs.patch.gz Description: application/gunzip
