LOL, I don't think anybody here has sufficient standing to suggest how the gcc devs should name their test files. And anyway, what's done is done. As to html - Richard's mail was multipart alternative: in mutt I see the plain text, and there is an (html) attachment after that - seems fine to me. The problem is people who send html-only : I see some of those on a non-computing list, mostly they are totally unreadable (too much stupid formatting). We get a few on blfs-support without the excess formatting - often mostly readable, with a little effort. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
