So I only saw this because of Akira's response; something in how you are
sending your mail drives SpamAssassin nuts.

Thank you for working to improve our documentation!

In addition to everything Akira said, I must express a bit of worry
about updating this document piecemeal in this way.  Backporting
specific pieces in this way will yield a result that is not a
translation of anything - it is a new creation that never existed in the
original form.

It sure would be nicer (says the guy who has no ability to do that work)
to bring the translation as a whole current.

I'll accept pieces with acks from people who can properly judge them,
but I would prefer to just have a current translation.

Thanks,

jon
