Typical friendly response, no wonder this project is always crying out
for more testers. How about you get over yourself and learn some social
skills, having an email appear in the wrong thread in your mail client
is really the end of the world isn't it?

FWIW it was the webmail I'm using, I'm not trying to hijack your thread. 

Issue closed anyway, there's now a 3.0.0-4.1-desktop which looks like it
has bcma ('bmca' in my email was a typo).
