[Gmod-help] [#19565] Re: RE: Re: GBrowse installation

[Ram Podicheti]

I don't think this email exchange is reaching the intended audience
which is gmod-gbrowse at lists.sourceforge.net. You are communicating
through the CGB issue tracker. Not that we have any issues with it, but,
it sort of defeats the purpose of the GBrowse mailing list. So I am
copying the entire conversation to the mailing list.

Pushkala - can you start sending your further responses related to
GBrowse directly to gmod-gbrowse at lists.sourceforge.net? Of course, if
there is any thing related to WebGBrowse, please include
biohelp at cgb.indiana.edu in your recipient list.
Thanks,

Ram Podicheti
