What I would like was some way of having MailScanner merging 2 repports
and 2 langugage sets. Today some of the translated reports includes both
the national and the english version - thats kind of silly and adds
complexity when something should be changed.

Another thing would be to have alle the configuration options for repports
replaced by a "language-base-path" and a report-filename. That way you
only need to change one line when changeing the language.

My "dream" is to have a single config-file option "Language" which could
be "en", "de", "nl" etc. - or "de-en", "nl-en" etc. Where the last case
would have MailScanner merging the two repports.

This would requere some more work on the repports, e.g. having a way to
say "English version bellow", not having 2 headers and 2 footers etc.

Just my thoughts....
