Please DO NOT send this kind of question to Donald Becker until you have
exhausted all other avenues of attack (and perhaps not even then). Last
I heard, Donald had requested that he not be bothered with this kind of
stuff. I think it is OK if the message is in the form of a bug report
or fix, but a random ``What do I do now?'' question is not his problem.
(Try sending to the net mailing list(*) for suggestions or reading the
code or paying someone to fix the problem.)
(*) Send a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu. The subject line is
ignored. The body of the message should contain a line with the word
"lists" to get a list of all available mailing lists and a line with
the word "help" to get a general help file of the Majordomo software.
