'Mind' is a bit too strong; I just found it a bit odd so I mentioned it! I didn't care enough to even suggest it should be changed, but was curious. > It certainly is a correct and informative statement ...but utterly irrelevant since a) Cygwin isn't Red Hat Linux and b) this particular package of procmail is not the RHL one to which the statement refers. Might as well say "The procmail program is used by Solaris 2.5 for all local mail delivery" in a cygwin packaging description....
