ok, that get's me a little bit closer to a minimal working example as it
cuts down on the messages:

** libs

** help

Johannes Hüsing               There is something fascinating about science. 
                              One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture 
mailto:johannes at huesing.name  from such a trifling investment of fact.
