Yes, I noticed that message. I appreciate your effort.

Just for the record: You have changed the behavior of -Q. (I'm not
saying that this is bad, but it will force people to update their cron
jobs/scripts.)

Well, currently it doesn't send me any e-mails. I'm using
./check_trans.pl -q -m 'nordhaug@[...]' -l -d
and it only prints the result to stdout. (Earlier -Q was included
in the above command, but that gives nothing as you mentioned above.)

PS! This is check_trans.pl 1.79.
