Thanks. The original line read $initial_reply_to =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; and was used just for stripping spaces (no stripping necessary when there is no space, so \s+ was ok). The change was supposed to work on the brackets, too. That Mike got bitten here is proof that the original idea had merit. Too bad the implementation did not actually work. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum - 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
