If you could find it, I would like to see that picture.

This is in fact an error on my part (for some reason, I was thinking F/A-18
but that never got to my fingers, which were thinking F-14) when I wrote the
message.

F-14 Tomcats are a higher form of aircraft life that F/A-18's and are thus
delivered by live birth, like all mammals except the platipus. No one
outside of the Navy has ever seen this, as it is classified Top Secret
codeword, although it is rumored that the Mother Ship looks something like a
C-130 on steriods. <g>

Would there be any interest in a talk on DHTML at some future time?  You
will remember that DHTML is Dynamic HTML, the combination of CSS (Cascading
Style Sheets), JavaScript/ECMAScript, and HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

If someone else will do an XML talk, I'll do DHTML.

Actually, maybe that's too far off-topic...  Lynn?  Whatcha think?

Completely off-topic, but the philosophy behind this
versioning system (Gnu/OSS/etc) has been that "dot zero"
code is still mostly in development.  You know that a
dot-zero package is probably not stable (at least in the
eyes of the development team) and probably shouldn't
be used in a critical role.  When a package goes
"one-dot-oh", that usually means that it's production
ready.

There are exceptions of course (probably numerous).  I think
telnet is still at version 0.10 or something, go figure.  And
the Linux kernel was pretty doggone stable at 0.99.  But hey,
when it's your project, you can release with version "purple"
if you want to. :-)

IMAP will really make this package usable for me.  Since I
never go to the trouble of backing up my workstations, I try to
leave all of my work and email on servers that do get backed up.

Great job, you and the other developers are to be commended.
