Excellent.

Very good, but what if I *only* want e-mail for pages that are unmaintained. I can see the use for this too. > (*) Keep the "-g" options as it is now: all mails are generated as > specified by the other options, but instead of sending them, they > will be dumped to the console.

OK, thanks for the clarification. And a last question that I forgot in last message: What is this virtual translator "maxdelta" that I assume I can add to the translator database. It is the e-mail address that should be used if a maintained page is too outdated? AFAICT this isn't documented so I'm guessing the purpose... (I know you didn't add this, but I think you have modified that part of the code so I guess you have some thoughts about it.)
