So in the spur of the moment, it seemed perfectly sensible to me to cancel the -done message (which in my mind only added a version to the fixed list) with notfixed, as opposed to found that would not exactly cancel it, but also add an entry to the found list. (Yes, a vain hair-splitting thought; there is no difference in practice between the new version added to the found list and the new version not added.) -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
