I suspect this has to do with what Bob said in a recent mail, "set it to
allow the poster's address to show up instead of the list's".  While it's
really the way a list should be set up, regular users of lynx-dev need to
be informed what is happening and the implications it will have.  It's
different from the way things have always been on address@hidden

To give mutt as an example, most lynx-dev users will want to hit 'L' rather
than 'r', as they may have in the past.

         ^^^^^^^^
Were you meaning "libintl.h"?  On my system "libintl.h" is the only header
file under either /usr/include or /usr/local/include that has that define:
        % cat libintl.h | grep libintl_printf
        #define printf libintl_printf

This is getting a bit off topic (but what the heck we may as well exercise
this list to help iron out the wrinkles), but how would I go about looking
for "a stray #define"?  IIRC, all of the header files calling other header
files up to "slang.h" were Lynx header files.  If I find a "stray" (not sure
what that means) define, what do I do; just delete it (from which file)?

Agree 100%.  Let's just try to hang low for a while and be patient.  Seems
Bob is doing his best.

One thing I didn't understand is, are "nongnu" and "Savannah" different
entities?  I thought before I got bumped off that we were going to
"Savannah", but all I've seen since the end of February was "(non)gnu.org".
