Hi Robert.
Ups, I didn't thought about that, that there is stored some extra
information in the reply mail. ;-)
So I just write, a new mail to the mailinglist with or w/out
[TYPO3-50-general] at the beginning of the subject?

OK. That should come with version 5.3 of PHP in the next two month (I
hope ;-))

That's really a problem. I don't know a lot tools which have the same
features like a editor for java or C#.
Maybe Zend Studio would be the first. I just saw, that it should be
availabe as a Eclipse extension (but it's not freeware :-( ). Or is
there anything for Eclipse.
