Re: checklink: problems with separators in quiet text output

hi Michael,

Thanks a lot for your feedback and patch. Could you specify against  
which versions of the link checker files your patches and observations  
have been made?

Right. Note however that when there is no error, I suppose the quiet  
switch should filter out all output, shouldn't it? So maybe the output  
of the URI checked should happend IFF there is an error to report?

Indeed.

Unfortunately it looks like MUAs garbled the patch and made it rather  
unusable (patch -u complains of malformed patch format). Could you re- 
send as attachment rather than inline?

Thank you
