a suffix is a suffix--at the end. a suffix in the middle--that's not a suffix, that's wrong. ? anyway, using what's after the final dot is useful for shell file name completion and applications (e.g. Firefox is confused about cert.pem.1 but not cert(1).pem.) most of time, and that's better than never useful? steve -- _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
