But I only did the 1-7 above        a handful of times. Most of the time I have been careful not to need        that.              Regarding "nice ordered list".. that's because I find something like this:       1. I save the current message 2. go back to the original 3. launch a        quote-reply 4. copy the text I want into the clipboard 5. exit that        message and *don't* save it. 6. go back to the Unsent message and open it        to Edit. 7. plop in the block. ..is harder to read.              Man.. I think I've getting pretty good at the block edit commands!                                   Regards,        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.36        * Origin: /|ug's Point, ONT, CANADA (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 354       SEEN-BY: 229/426 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
