Hi Roderick, Yours, is the first comment about this change and is welcome. I considered the full mode gives more information at a glance, but you are right the way I implemented this change is not so 'elegant'. I'll try to implement an alternative configuration via 'conffile' to let users enable this option easily. Thanks for your comment about this issue. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Dario Minnucci (a.k.a. midget) Phone: (+34) 902021030 | Fax: (+34) 902024417 | 24/7: (+34) 807429057 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | URL: http://www.midworld.net/midget/ Key fingerprint = 6DDB 5487 7F6D 89D4 5D9C 33C7 D181 DD7A 6C42 8272 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
