Heiner submitted a *very* similar patch just now with a straight variable plus accessor instead of a function and using a name with _msg. I'm ambivalent on the implementation but prefer the naming here since that's more the limitation we're trying to express I think (some hardware does have limiations about multple transfers too). Can the two of you come up with something that works for both of you? [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
