I think the right fix is probably to keep the current behavior if -I wasn't given, but if -I was given, add the number of info tags overridden to the summary as well. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
