Is there something in a web page somewhere that > confuses people? Let me guess. It could be a lynx thing. It's very easy to hit enter twice instead of once when following a link. So you don't end up on the page you wanted, but rather, you go off and follow that page's first link. As for handbook.html this could be happening in two ways: 1) Someone presses enter on the mailto: at the bottom, intending to write to the individual whose name is questions, and finds themselves writing to someone called doc. They've pressed enter twice accidentally, going through mailto.html and onto the first link on that page which (until my patches or similar are applied) sends mail to doc. The blank message indicates someone who actually noticed the discrepancy rather than writing on regardless. 2) Someone presses enter on a link which should take them to handbook.html, but presses enter twice. The first link on that page is a mailto: so they end up in the message editor and retreat, leaving a blank message. -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
