Sure, but this doesn’t change the fact that the prolog (which is
really just pre-written Postscript code) is still copyrighted by
Artifax Software. It is probably comparable to how Microsoft owns the
copyright to all the code that makes a .doc an actual .doc and not
just a .txt, i.e. the structure of the contents, the way things are
specified etc.

I offers me three choices: debian-user@l.d.o, "Claudius Hubig
(on-list)" "Claudius Hubig (off-list)". The first one (which should
be the default) only sends the mail to d-u@l.d.o, which is the
correct behaviour and also sets the In-Reply-To: header.

Thanks :)
