Thanks. That means it's a "feature", I guess. It's not a big deal, I can always add --pid-recursive if I'm getting a series. But up through 2.99, having it in my options file was more convenient than adding it on a case-by-case basis.
And that's not a postcode, it's my callsign. And why not put in my telephone number? best, doug On Thu, May 4, 2017 at 2:58 PM, Vangelis forthnet <northmed...@the.forthnet.gr> wrote: > On Thu May 4 14:12:59 BST 2017, Doug Faunt wrote: >> >> I hope that signature is gone. > > > Yes it is...
