The same thing happens without the -sameq option.  I just included it
because it was mentioned in the man page, but it really makes no
difference.

As I said, I'm extremely busy (already compiling other software) and
just can't take the time.

I tried providing a sample and the e-mail was rejected because of the
size so I sent just what I had.  Last night I posted an entire e-mail
with the sample and the moderator rejected the e-mail because I was not
subscribed.  There seem to be so many requirements that I was afraid my
e-mail would also be rejected because of the size.

I can see that it is no fun to try to help someone like me so I will
post my problems on the ubuntu bug tracker site.
