Hi,

That's a great idea. There isn't an option for this in Dispatch yet  
but it should be relatively simple to implement. It'd have to be a  
configuration option that you set via a parameter.

If you stick a feature request on the PLaneT Trac I'll take a look as  
soon as I can (Monday at the earliest). Alternatively, if you want to  
hack on it yourself, the code is available in SVN:

     svn co http://svn.untyped.com/dispatch/trunk/src dispatch-trunk

If you mail me your changes, I'll roll them into the trunk and add you  
to the contributors list.

Cheers,

-- Dave
