I boldly hijack this complaint:

1. You didn't seem to get it right (all quoted lines but the first are
off by one space).

2. You poor soul use an email editor that, when wrapping quoted lines,
is too dumb to properly quote the wraps?

3. _My_ email client/editor doesn't wrap lines unless I explicitly tell
it to. It do not want to impose an arbitrary screen width on readers of
my postings. Though, I try to respect the wish of some readers of
SM-discuss to have 80-column text and thus trigger wrapping for
postings to this list - but sometimes I forget, like in my previous
mail in a different thread (sorry, Andrew).

4. Yeah, we arrived at an eMail formatting discussion, via code
formatting discussion!

5. I do not want to start flaming about this. Of course I do, though.
Sorry.

6. Never mind.


Alrighty then,

Thomas.
