Andrew,

This was sent using the source-compiled BeroList 2.5.9. Note it went
through, it doesn't have multiple subject prefixes and it doesn't have the
List: line. Should we move htdig@htdig.org now?

BTW, perhaps we want to clean out the old message archive before we move
it. :-)

Agreed. I took the two Didier mentioned out of the loop in HTML.cc. If
anyone wants to undertake this, I'll be happy to see it.

On a similar note, someone asked what I will accept during feature-freeze.
Bug-fixes... But in addition to bug reports (on the list and to the bug
database), I include most performance improvements and cleanup efforts as
bug-fixes. So if someone wants to take variables out of loops for any
files, I'll take the patches.

On that note, I haven't heard any complaints against removing $Log$ from
files. If I don't hear any before tonight, I'm going to remove them from
all files. (That's a big patch!) This would go in the "cleanup effort"
realm.
