Hi Paul,

thanks, I'll keep this in mind for the next submissions.

I have also resend because, I realized that some spam filters my
have swallowed the last submission as I used my private smtp server
from another domain in the gitconfig. Sorry for that. I hope now
every one received it.

Thanks,
Michael
