Right, but we could filter out most of the headers and keep only the few that we care about. This shouldn't be too difficult. Most mails published in the PTS are also published somewhere else (debian-devel-changes lists archives, gmane, google groups, ...) so in fact we should care only about the PTS internal adresses. > whole world, if we'd really do it this way.

Sure, but well, that's life. We'll just say it clearly: this is internal stuff that you can use, but it may thus evolve over time ! It's not a big deal for little home made scripts. :) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog Premier livre français sur Debian GNU/Linux : http://www.ouaza.com/livre/admin-debian/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
