      MSGID: 1:153/7001 6754518b       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Nick!               NB> who knows what the abandonware will do with it.              That is why we're giving it at least 7 characters to play with. I have been       known to wrap entire messages to 72 characters just to take care of their       obvious handicap. Them were the good ol' days.               NB> What were they thinking?              Strong like bull, smart like tractor?              As far as I know, quoting has never been covered in ftn standards. The       tradition has become to put the initials of the quotee in the quote prefix       along with the '>' character. However I think just the '>' character is more       universal and makes things easier, especially when using vim or nano as the       MSG editor of choice.              Life is good,       Maurice              -o -o o- -o        (\ (\ /) (\        ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
