If you are somebody else, the symptom is somebody else sending out a bogus email. That patch fixes only the latter. :) More seriously, I agree that re-wording the question is a reasonable thing to do. I do not use send-email, either, so I don't have a strong opinion on it. The suggestions you made: > How about "What Message-ID to use as In-Reply-To for the first email?" > or "Provide the Message-ID to use as In-Reply-To for the first > email:". seem fine to me. Maybe somebody who has been confused by it can offer more. At any rate, patches welcome. -Peff -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
