Sounds quite possible to me.
Please submit this as a "Feature Request" on the SourceForge site.
That way we won't lose track of it, even if it gets buried by more
urgent bug reports or other stuff.

Done. Thx.

BTW please remove that bullshit "disclaimer" , it has no legal validity  
anywhere in the world: if something is "confidential" you don't send it  
over an open network in clear text. However this mailing list is public  
and _everything_ you send to it _will_ be copied , reviewed and  
retransmitted.

Also it is completely stupid to put your "top secret" qualifier _after_  
the text we are not supposed to read. This is like putting a crate of beer  
in the street with a piece of paper under it saying "you are forbidden  
 from drinking this beer if it not intended for you".

If you are trying to sound important and serious it falls a bit flat. You  
simply suggest to all readers that you are in the habit of sending  
confidential material by email. That would not inspire confidence in most  
peoples mind.
