Thanks, Giorgos! Let's fire Emacs gun!
... and following is somewhat off topic. FreeBSD Project's SPF rules
marked Giorgos's mail address (keramida@freebsd.org) as
"softfail". That's bad news to me. SPF [RFC4408] is Experimental draft,
you know. Actually Giorgos's mail is very healthy message. Hmm.. i
cannot understand why FreeBSD Project postmaster team adopted such lame
email policy. Please let's go with another policy (e.g., RFC4801). There
is good role model on RFC4801. The Python Project deployed RFC4801 rules
in their own mailing list server, as far as i know. And i heard that is
working very fine ...
Sincerely,
