So it's a word, although not meaning what computeroids use it to mean....

I did - about 10 tons of them - and posted them a long while ago.  After a
while, though, you reach the point of diminishing returns, and frankly I'd
gotten tired of throwing "(void)"s into somebody else's code.  I didn't see
much point in throwing them in in new code when they weren't there in the
existing code.

If you want to run all of "mailx" or "Mail" through "lint", be my guest....
