[spam] t.test confidence interval

Hi,

I'm using R for some undergraduate lectures, reaching the t tests.
No matter what conf.level one specifies in the syntax, the output always shows
the 95 percent confidence interval.

That's just not true in my version of R.

 t.test(extra ~ group, data = sleep, conf=.8)

        Welch Two Sample t-test

data:  extra by group
t = -1.8608, df = 17.776, p-value = 0.0794
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
80 percent confidence interval:
 -2.7101645 -0.4498355
sample estimates:
mean in group 1 mean in group 2
           0.75            2.33

Is it possible to alter the function somehow, to report the CL percent
confidence interval?
