Subjectively, if I stumbled over this on any site I care about, I'd file a bug report. Whether it should be "fixed" or just "doumented" so that you don't receive more spurious bug reports (from me :-) is open to debate. It's obviously a minor issue, but (again subjectively) also obviously unexpected behavior for a page which is linked from the cover page as the index of issues from 2004. > Or, Frank, do you think it would be quick and easily fixable? Without having seen the code, I'd guess that this should not be too hard to fix. /* era */ -- formail -s procmail <http://www.iki.fi/era/spam/ >http://www.euro.cauce.org/ cat | more | cat<http://www.iki.fi/era/unix/award.html>http://www.debian.org/
