Thank you Kamata-san! XMail code has been done with abstractions inside SysDep* to make IPV6 transition almost painless for the remaining of the XMail code. The reason that it has not been done before is that a very limited number pf users requested it. A full implementation would obviously require every architecture to be covered, and also, there are other places in the XMail code (non SysDep*) where a few bits would need to be touched. Anyway, I will add a link to XMail home page if you put the patch and the instructions in a simple HTML page. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
