[development] development] Book to Book-Pages... Many to many

[Kevin Reynen]

2 questions...

1) Why does your email client (which appears to be gmail) change the subject

viewed by thread...

2) Are you working with joshk <http://groups.drupal.org/user/429> who is on
a "quest to bring book.module to the next level as outline.module in Drupal
6.0"?
