I don't remember listfiles.. but there was a change in the way WebDNA dealt with listing variables... which [filename] I guess is a variable. After our initial build we discovered variables were presented in different orders than from v. 6.0a. When we did some diff's on the code, it appeared it was because of work SMSI had done when adding the scope stuff to the variables. So, I don't know if this is related, it may be (Jaz would have to take a look). I decided at the time that even though listvariables produced a different order, it wasn't really breaking anything and that we had much more pressing matters to attend to at the time. However, if these two are related, and it affects the way emails are sent out, it's probably something to look at. I had a stringent policy of recording potential bugs when I was occupying the head of development.. so this is my suggestion to Christophe/Jaz that they do the same.
