Re: release update: security problems force "etch" delay of 4-6 weeks



The one WHO had send this messages should DOWNWRITE 100 TIMES
the RFC since the "Message-ID:" header is invalid!

It show:         Message-ID: 20070401.happy.april@debian.org
but it should:   Message-ID: <20070401.happy.april@debian.org>

And then, I like Ice-Cream and the "From:" was jumping directly
into my eyes... :-)

Happy joking around
