Gee... I didn't see it 'cause I was working based on 4.13 (I try to develop 
over latest public release and not over beta, so I only debug my own 
errors)... since you just release 4-14 and it has this one thing I want, 
seems like I'll be forward-porting my mods this weekend...

Great work, Julian!

BTW, the guy working on the _real_ ZMailer port is advancing faster than I 
am, so maybe I'll be dropping my code soon... he was based on 4-14-3 or 
something like that, and he'll probably be forward-porting to 4-14-9 next 
week.

Have a nice weekend.
