I completely agree - If a user is going to shoot himself in the foot, he can do it with TMDA or with any other package. > I think that either a large warning on bugs.d.o about the use of C-R > systems in corrspondence, or a similar warning in the description of > TMDA would suffice.

Description, with the possible addition of a note in README.Debian would be better - it is targetted at the user. Bugs are targetted to the maintainer, and most users will not be aware of them. -- Gunnar Wolf - gwolf@gwolf.cx - (+52-55)5630-9700 ext. 1366 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF
