I agree about the need to build bogofilter. Maybe not for this release, but long term, we should have it, and it should probably be in the VOICE RPM repository, once that is operational. I just uploaded Beta 3. That should create the PMMail utility icon correctly. The installer no longer checks for DLLs, but it still is checking for PMMail 2.x. I don't know if that is important -- we launch PMMutil.EXE at the end of the install even if we do not find PMMail 2.x. The installer still installs any ASpell packages it happens to see. I guess there is no harm in leaving those in. I'm going to look at doing release notes. Are there Mantis entries I should include? best regards, Neil -- Neil Waldhauer neil at blondeguy dot com www.blondeguy dot com Expert consulting for OS/2 Warp, ArcaOS and eComStation -- This email was Anti Virus checked by Astaro Security Gateway. http://www.sophos dot com ----------- To unsubscribe yourself from this list, send the following message to MajorMajor at os2voice dot org unsubscribe PMMail2User end
