Sorry, I haven't checked my mail in a bit. Has it stopped now?
Are you sure it came from my ISP? What do the headers say? If it did,
I will ask my admin about it.
In general, with such things, it is probably better to mail the
administrator of the offending system directly (try postmaster@).
Anyway...

Basically: It is useful anyplace you need to create or understand a
complicated declaration. For example, if somebody declared a variable
as
int *(*foo)();
it might be confusing. cdecl can help to explain this. Or, as I
mentioned in my announcement, if you want to declare a complicated data
type (array of pointer to function is a common one), it can help you
figure out how that works.
It might help to understand its purpose if you were to play with it a
little.
