I have just asked a question out of curiosity, I hope I did it politely.
I apologise I haven't followed the discussions, I have been very busy
recently. I am also a human, I make mistakes (guys, I am glad you have
not seen errata to my PhD thesis, you would loose faith in me :-); I
thought I have checked it carefully enough and people still found some
misspellings) and I understand you very well. And I know people who
share your wife's opinion about spouses :-).

You do not have to worry about it. libesmtp is here to stay, at least as
long as I am in charge of balsa :-).
