It's just too bad that one of > signs meaning "greater than" just happened
to hit the single-line hard-wrap, making it look as if the remainder of the
line was a quoted line (in blue, OMM). Then in Arthur's quote, it picked up
a second real quote sign, now in mine a 3rd! Oh dear, plaintext email
mechanism (not the server this time) has messed up Nigel's fine line. Well,
in HTML it would have come over perfectly -- but then again, Nigel can't
send in HTML, I think. Involuntary obfuscation rules again.
