     Yes, I'll have to check the tin CHANGES file(s), but because my   
   version is *very* old (from 2003), that's quite a lot of work (probably   
   not if tin consistently uses the term 'pager').   
      
     I was hoping that Urs would trigger on the use of the word 'tin' in my   
   posting, as he often does. But if not, I'll have to get off my lazy   
   butt.   
      
   (My excuses for my old version: Don't fix what ain't broken and - more   
   importantly - I run tin under Cygwin on (MS) Windows and updating   
   Cygwin's tin or/and Cygwin itself is hard for me. I just don't quite   
   'get' how to update only what needs the be updated and leave the rest   
   untouched, That's not Cygwin's fault, just mine. (Yes, I made notes on   
   how I did it the last time, but it's still hard.))

     Thanks. Yes, still mostly well, knock on wood. Good to see you too!   
   Your familiar intials popping up in the last few days. :-)   
      
     And indeed over 15 years. My 'posted' file gives a (June 5) 2005 date,   
   but that file starts 'only' in (May) 2004. My earlier posting history is   
   probably only on some DDS tape somewhere! :-) I think we go back, much   
   longer than that.
