Package: mailgraph
Version: 1.14-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Each and every mailgraph deployment loads a small badge from oss.oetiker.ch
which is displayed in the footer.  Not that I don't trust Tobi Oetiker, but
I don't like the idea that whoever runs that server now or in the future can
track all mailgraph installations.

See http://www.stat.ee.ethz.ch/mailgraph.cgi for an example.

I'll attach a patch which replaces the badge with a simple text link.
