Maybe I prefer white backgrounds over black ones? Surprisingly few web mailing list interfaces are actually usable for reading threads. Gmane is, MARC isn't (you don't see the list of references and replies to the current mail, and the next/prev in thread links somehow don't seem to be very reliable). That's a killer feature for me, if MARC had that I'd have preferred it (I like black background and dislike frames). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
