I know, read it as "I hope they will be included in the next official
release". I just wanted to remember you. ;)
The home_directory patch is a "nice to have", but the readfile-patch fixes
a real problem ;)

I know, until exim has a big bug, i see no demand for a new version, this

uses a pgp 2.6.1 key for signing.
