I realize this. Gems are awesome and gems suck. I'm talking about the matz ruby interpreter itself. In some instances, not only would the user need all of the gems, but they'd need a 1.9 ruby too...that a big commitment to run a mail client. [As a side note, Debian/Ubuntu do package many of the gems, but it's a round hole, square peg affair.] Thanks -Ben -- Ben Walton Systems Programmer - CHASS University of Toronto C:416.407.5610 | W:416.978.4302 GPG Key Id: 8E89F6D2; Key Server: pgp.mit.edu Contact me to arrange for a CAcert assurance meeting.
