Hi,

I've had no experience with mailing lists before and the last time I
had to report a bug I had a problem because I was mailing in html. I
learnt after many days, what I was doing wrong. That's why I thought
maybe I need to change the subject matter or something.

Anyway, sorry about that, won't happen again.

As for the reproduction of bugs, I'm looking into it. My only
configurations was scrollback patch, colors and font. I will get back.

Thanks,
Enan Ajmain
