Some thoughts for next weeks meeting

1.  Patch release status?  8.1.11

2.  look at mime support
	- reading: turn this on and provide reasonable defaults?
	- sending: go use netscape?
    should think about mime word docs
	jpeg/gif/pictures
	audio

3.  Think about removing the xlogin options (olh, xinfo, techinfo).

4.  Start working through the issues with 8.2.  e.g. perl5 -- how
transition?
