please do! it is really a pleasure to see the wnpp list shortening from time to time :) I would (ab)use the new usertags feature to tag the relevant WNPP bug "suitable-for-NM" or similar and put this ML as user. When the applicant is done with the package, either untag the bug or do a sponsored upload (best). comments/ideas? filippo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
