From 2174b30c4a30d9568c528af4166150389f8ce5bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Giorgos Keramidas Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2006 04:26:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add a few missing elements and replace a 'funny' instance of sendmails with a slightly reworded version which avoids putting an 's' in the SGML element; it's not part of Sendmail's name.
