yes, the voting feature should probably go in bugreport, along with a one shot command such as 'reportbug NNNNNN-vote', that would make it easy to use: collect infos about the system and the version installed, send them to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a 'confirm NNNNNN'. paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
