I was (partly) aware of that change, but I did not really see it as a problem,
since I just assumed backward-compatibility.

ok - now I get it completely - thanks!


I also read the ezmlm-issubn manapge before, but its content made me think, that
the old behaviour still works:

<quote>
If dir1 (or more) are present on the command line and are relative  paths,
ezmlm- issubn  only  examines the named subdirectories within the preceding
absolute path dir.
</quote>

I expected the old behaviour, since "subdir1 (or more)" are not relative paths
in my example.


And I also skipped the UPGRADES.idx section, since I remembered the following:

<quote>
The changes have been made so that most uses of these tools will still work as
before, but some usages may break, particularly on new lists or lists that have
been edited after upgrading.
</quote>

I did not see myself falling into these categories.

So I am still not sure: is ezmlm-issubn supposed to be backward compatible
(regarding absolute paths)?


thanks!
