--- That's not a bug, that's funny, really funny!  The VSoup1.1 beta has
--- no problem with the command above, because there is a bug in the
--- corresponding code - I've send something about it several days ago:
--- VSoup1.1 does not ignore the '-i' switch, but the 1.2 version does!
--- And now there is no way to tell VSoup1.2 the domain name other then

---
--- As a temporary fix, you should remove the '-i' switch from your
--- command line.  In a future version there will be a command line option
--- for telling VSoup the domain name.
---
--- Hey, I think, this is also missing in Souper!?

No, it IS present in souper 1.5. I don't know about the new 1.6.
