Sorry, but I can't find a search function on the lists-server. Perhaps 
this would be helpful to avoid getting the same topics again from 
people who are new to this mailing list.

Besides of this I think, if there was heavy discussion about this 
issue, this shows there is need for it, and it should be made 
configurable.
