I think I've fixed most of these.  But it's error prone so some may be
missing.  I think I might need to put more smarts into the
Message.UserNotification class. :(

Hmm, do you have any more details?  I can't seem to find one that crashes.

    DO> 3) in file crontab.in is broken this entry

Got it, thanks.

Got it.

Hmm, yeah, but so far I'm avoiding this.  How important will this be?

Do you mean Pipermail?  Seems to work for me.

Yay!
