serving
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/02/may/
when the user asks for
http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/02/May/
is *MUCH* better than serving a 404 page, Rui.
It has nothing to do with a and A being the same or
not. It has to do with people making little errors,
and computers trying to help people and not pissing
them off. No more and no less.
I'm 100% with Alan here.
Cheers,
