   Thanks. (And thank you to T. Klausner for sending the original,
   unformatted PR to me.)
   
   I see a README-NOT-UPDATING file says "These mail archives are no longer
   being updated.  We are fully aware of this problem and are working on it."
   (Aug. 14, 1999)
   
   So in this case (since the PR was a couple years old), it was available
   there.


note that one can also send email to query-pr@netbsd.org (or used to be
able to; i've not done this for years) with query-pr(1) arguments in the
Subject: line.  eg:

	To: query-pr@netbsd.org
	Subject: --full 7366

will get that PR.  sending `--help' in the subject should return a help
lists of all available commands (some query-pr(1) arguments are not
available via the email interface.)
