Well, right. :-D I thought that was obvious, so I did not mentioned it
in the patch description. I considered mentioning it in the added text,
but in the end decided against it, as once an email address is exposed
in a patch posting it's kind of too late anyway, as it then ended up in
external archives we have no control over.

Ciao, Thorsten
