This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --===============2250082559458055846== Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------nbchKNNvZJv5peai2W1NWIDb" Content-Language: en-US This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------nbchKNNvZJv5peai2W1NWIDb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fair. But the point is that this renders correctly when printed. (Or at least does so with 'enscript'). I once suggested that we needed an OBE result for errata (or "Known - OBE") - to be applied to any of the older documents where there are successors or the modern document no longer has the problem. This would be a good time to start it. In any event, "accepted" is kind of misleading as no action will ever be taken.
