There is something seriously broken with your quoting. This  was  not
typed by you, but is a quote of a previos posting by Andreas Schweig-
still!

No, obviously it isn't. It is NOT a fix to the  rzsz  but  instead  a
specialized  package  duplicating  functions of a well-known standard
tool. This alone is reason enough not to distribute it.

Andreas' suggestion was good: instead, please fix the rzsz tool.

Ulf, what you're doing here is not  acceptable.  This  whole  message
looks  as if it was posted by Andreas, without any indication of your
changes / additions. Please stick  to  standard  quoting  rules.  See
http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

And *fix* your mail  setup  instead  of  repeating  your  request  to
ignore standard mailing list practice.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
