created samples-request@... as its not just about uploads, but could also be about other changes. note though, people who do not have a .forward in their home directory will receive the mail locally on the server and not get it send to their email. So make sure you set that up for yourself before testing. also ping me on IRC if it doesnt work [...] thanks -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
