   Whooops!  Sorry about the incomplete message. I forgot that it was "in     
   progress" as a draft and I should have gone back to finish it before my     
   next poll.   
      
   To continue...   
      
   Names with 3 or more initials such as "Wilfred van Velzen", or "Rick van     
   Beek" might show up in originating messages like this:   
      
           WvV> some quoted text here, line 1   
           WvV> some quoted text here, line 2   
           WvV> some quoted text here, line 3   
      
   or,   
      
           RvB> some quoted text here, line 1   
           RvB> some quoted text here, line 2   
           RvB> some quoted text here, line 3   
      
      
   But when YOU start a quoted reply, the aligned lines get staggered, for     
   example:   
      
           WvV> some quoted text here, line 1 WvV> some quoted text here,   
           line 2 WvV> some quoted text here, line 3   
      
   or,   
      
           RvB> some quoted text here, line 1 RvB> some quoted text here,   
           line 2 RvB> some quoted text here, line 3   
      
      
   :(   
      
   Needs manual intervention!
