No. But it wasn't clear - at least to me - if (1) you just wanted to
remark that or if (2) you wanted to ask if that was normal behaviour
or if (3) you were asking what the contents of that mailed output
actually meant. So it wasn't clear to me if any follow up was
needed. Apparently option 1 was the case. That's clear now, so case
closed. I didn't miss a question after all. :)
