Well, .... there are application lists. PostgreSQL has its own lists, MySQL has its own lists, Fetchmail has its own list, Posfix has its own list, Procmail has its own list, alpine has its own list, GRAMPS has its own list, GnuCash has its own list, as mentioned in another thread (the one about iceape), Seamonkey has its own list, and, as the King (as played by Yul Brynner) said, "etcetera, etcetera, etcetera". -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
