Is it possible to get > rid of them (I thought we did that for all bundled packages)? I was not aware of that convention. It certainly isn't in the Emacs Lisp Coding Conventions. Where is this documented? I include the RCS keyword because it adds a lot of useful information. The gratuitous diffs are pesky indeed. However, it would be better to fix the tools so that these diffs aren't generated. Nonetheless, I notice that most (but not all) of the lisp packages do not have the Id keyword, so I'll go with the flow and remove the keywords from the MH-E package. Is this important enough to take the time to punch out a patch release now, or can it wait a month until our next regular release? -- Bill Wohler http://www.newt.com/wohler/ GnuPG ID:610BD9AD Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ and MH-E.
