Alright... =)  For me, reading the reports via email is much
cleaner/easier with the separators.  Might not be for everyone, and I
have no problem maintaining the patch for Annvix if it isn't desirable
for others.

That would be awesome, thank you.  =)

Yeah, I recall some debate on all of that.  I don't think that prevents
aide from working correctly, so it's  not a huge issue for me.

And thanks for accepting the other patches
