You are a genius with eagle's eyes! I've suspected from the beginning something like this has to be there... And I really tried to find this before sending this. But, as a matter of fact I didn't even try this "plain" or rather "raw", because I've somehow thought "raw" is just plain text, so the same only without html tags!? So, now I know, and it's enough to me. But, ... maybe it should be on this "complex" page as well? Thanks very much, Jarek P. PS: I hope eagles can see in English at least the same as in Polish, and more than I can see in my dictionary now! - 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
