Re: subtree-export limitations

[Philipp Kroos <philipp.kroos@t-online.de>]

Ok, thanks to both of you. I'll stick with the workarounds pointed out
by Alan for now.
Anyway, I'm still curious if it wouldn't be feasible to treat
subtree-options more similar to inbuffer-options?
Maybe I'll have a look at that in some spare time, though I think my
understanding of the concepts might be insufficient yet. Any further
clues on this topic are much appreciated therfore!

Best regards, Philipp
