I sent patches. David applied them, and changed the dates while doing it. I sent some more patches, and David asked that I change the dates. I said "but the README says not to change the dates". David said change the dates. As David was committing my patches, I changed the dates. Some dates were changed. We all survived. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
