He said he would be away for two weeks. And I know he hasn't read his mail
since the 29th ("finger xchaos" when logged in to the server).
My guess on why 1.6x was rushed was because he's going to France "on
Arachne related buissness" - sounds like he's meating a buyer to me.

But so are all textareas. By making a new tag (since it will only be used
in Arachne who cares <g>) the file wouldn't be overwritten.
Ex. now you can start replying to this mail and then head off to some page
in your cache (accidently going back to many places) where a textarea is.
Now will not this textarea overwrite textarea.tmp? (Or don't I understand
this?)

But you'll also loose the TO:, CC: etc. lines.
