Hi--

Please don't send html email.
I'm pretty sure that the mailing list has dropped (discarded) your email
because it was html.

Probably only Al and I received your email.

Al- Would you prefer that fs/ documentation patches go to someone else
for merging?  maybe Andrew?

Thanks.

PS: I can't tell if I am writing an html email or not... :(
