Huh? I'm using lib/argcv.c to parse sieve's rc file, why shouldn't
it be there?

libmailutils.a, coming out of mailutils/lib/.

I've never used one. :-) I have an IRC client lying around, I'm
not sure what it'd take to use it, I guess it should be simple.

But I have to go call Julie, we have to plan when we get together
next, high priority! She just emailed me.

Maybe you can just tell me what you mean by argcv.c shouldn't
be part of the build! That could be what's been killing me.

I added it to the front of my link line, debugged it, and all is
fine now, but this has been expensive for me. I don't have tons
of time to work on mailutils, and builds are very slow on my pentium
pro. argh.

gotta run.

Thanks,
Sam
