+ If you have to contact a Privoxy developer directly for other reasons,
+ please send a real mail and do not bother with SourceForge's messaging
+ system. Answers to SourceForge messages are usually bounced by SourceForge's
+ mail server in which case the developer wasted time writing a response you
+ don't get. From your point of view it will look like your message has
+ been completely ignored, so this is frustrating for all parties involved.

Please also check the status of your request a few days after submitting
it, as we may request additional information. If you use a SF id,
you should automatically get a mail when someone responds to your request.
