That's okay. As a long time net user, I have developed thick skin and
am not easily offended. However, I might point out that archives for
this list were not available when I looked, back in February I think
it was. I see they are now, so I could indeed have found the answer in
the archives had I known they existed. Oh, wait a minute ... this is
emacs-pretest-bug, but I see these messages appearing in the
emacs-devel archives? Are the two addresses really the same list?
