Show me a free mail threader that won't be completely crushed when you throw 600+ megabytes of mail at it and I'll be most appreciative. I've actually considered postgres for a thread index based on message-id, but mail clients are a lot worse, on average, with proper referencing than news clients so the threading achieved by this method is little better than sorting by subject line. Anyway, what is needed in this case is for someone to write up a summary of the state of tcl as it pertains to ports and porting, and add that to the porting section of the handbook (www.freebsd.org/handbook/porting.html). -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
