All you need to do is to swap postgresql.org with beccati.org in the "message-id" link: http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/1320343602-sup-2290@alvh.no-ip.org -> http://archives.beccati.org/message-id/1320343602-sup-2290@alvh.no-ip.org Cheers -- Matteo Beccati Development & Consulting - http://www.beccati.com/
