Well - I don't know how this thread go to be about me because the
original message didn't mention me. But there are people with a thorn in
their ass that all they do is say RTFM. That only works when you already
know the name of the feature you are looking for. Sometime the solution
is intuitive and sometimes it isn't.

There are those of you who don't have a life outside of Exim and have
the manual and all the features memorized. There are some of us in the
real world who are somewhat familiar with Exim but it's just one of many
things that I'm doing. Some of us also have some vision impairment that
makes reading difficult.
