We allow simultaneously for a CDM--DE coupling and non--zero neutrino masses and find that significant coupling and neutrino mass are (slightly) statistically favoured in respect to a cosmology with no coupling and negligible neutrino mass (our best fits are: C~1/2m_p, m_\nu~0.12eV each flavor). We assume DE to be a self--interacting scalar field and use a standard Monte Carlo Markov Chain approach.
