Sorry, I don't have an example at hand, because my switch was somewhere
in summer. But I used emacs CVS head etags till then and had problems,
that a special case of templated functions in C++ were not listed in
TAGS. I'll switch back to Emacs etags and report when I find something
which Emacs etags doesn't tag.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.
