Hi Sean,

On 2026-01-06 12:27:58, you wrote to me:

There is a mention of this in the ChangeLog file:

2023-01-02  2.1.0.20-Beta
  * Made character that starts an option on the commandline
    (linux: '-', windows: '/') a #define.

But you are right it should be properly documented in FMAIL.TXT... ;-)


Bye, Wilfred.
