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
