Yeah, that's already setup.  It just sends the tail end so that you  
can see the error.  I learned quickly after receiving my first 5 meg

As for digest mode, I think it sucks since it makes it hard to reply  
and keep the thread info intact.  But I guess there is no discussion  
on pd-cvs, so it would be ok there.
