But note that many newsservers simply ignore large messages, so I recommend you post a URL instead. Other people disagree and think the full source is better because it then gets archived as part of gnu.emacs.source archive, so if you post a URL, make sure that the location will "live for ever". In any case, a good thing to do is to also put the package in emacswiki.org. Stefan
