Would you send me a source > file where exctags performs better than etags? Sorry, I don't have an example at hand, because my switch was somewhere in summer.

I'll switch back to Emacs etags and report when I find something which Emacs etags doesn't tag. -- Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
