   Read the second paragraph of "glossary.cfg" again :)   
      
   However, what it doesn't say is how to actually use the glossary     
   function.

   Maybe it would but the glossary function doesn't work like that.   
      
   Place the cursor at the start of a *blank line* in your message and     
   press . Cursor down the list to ">s+<" and press  and     
   see what happens.

   Nope, anything placed between the ">" and "<" characters is     
   interpreted as a comment or to put it another way, it's interpreted as     
   the title of the snippet.
