By not making it the default, it's the user's choice. I don't think now is the time for gratuitous removal of functionality. I know a lot has gone because of the difference in the environment, but this is obviously a separate issue. Greg -- Note: I discard all HTML mail unseen. Finger grog@FreeBSD.org for PGP public key.
