Julian,

I've started paying attention to the rcs/cvs version numbers at the
top of the file, every time a new version of Message.pm flies by.
This one is 1.126.2.158 2004/10/27, but the complete copy you posted
a couple of days ago (the one I'm running) is 1.126.2.166 2004/11/15.
Confusion reigns for those of us trying to keep up.
