> Hey, while you're making fixes to the "functionality" (love that
> non-word...)

From "The Merriam-Webster Webster's Third New International Dictionary":

	func*tion*al*i*ty n -ES : the quality, state, or relation
	of being functional : UTILITY : INTERRELATION

So it's a word, although not meaning what computeroids use it to mean....

> why not make lint fixes too?

I did - about 10 tons of them - and posted them a long while ago.  After a
while, though, you reach the point of diminishing returns, and frankly I'd
gotten tired of throwing "(void)"s into somebody else's code.  I didn't see
much point in throwing them in in new code when they weren't there in the
existing code.

If you want to run all of "mailx" or "Mail" through "lint", be my guest....
