[CAUT] Checking OT - mainly for Jon Page & RicB

[David Skolnik]

Boys -
I was going to send this off-list, but every subject title I came up 
with sounded like something my own email program would skim off as 
spam, so I apologize for the somewhat OT and personalized nature of 
this post. I do think it may apply to a few other individuals. It is, 
to be sure, no criticism, so be calm.
It's about how  Eudora (my email client) interprets and organizes 
subject titles in its mailbox listing.  Ric, if you'll recall, I 
previously pointed out this problem (perhaps relating ONLY to 
Eudora), in the way the subject appears in the header without the 
"RE:" .  I originally thought you were re-typing the subject in, but 
you said that its appearance was a function of replying from mail 
received in digest form.  I seem to recall that both of you have 
indicated that you use that option.  Two things occur to make your 
posts NOT come up with others when grouped by subject.  First, though 
I think it may not be the real issue, one can usually discern the 
originating post of a thread, as it is otherwise the only one which 
does NOT begin with "RE".  When there are more than one appearing 
that way, it can be confusing.  However, what seems to separate out 
yours' is the space that appears after "CAUT" in the subject.  You 
are either doing something manually, or else something is happening 
automatically to insert extra spaces when you reply.  The result, 
again in Eudora, is that all these posts go to the top of the listing 
(separated from all the other posts on that subject) when grouped by 
subject.   I'm pointing this out a) so that you'll be aware of it, 
and b) if there is anything that you can do, you might consider 
it.  I don't want any of your words lost to posterity.

Second is to Jon.  I notice a particular phenomenon on a number of 
your posts.  Quoted passages will appear in very small font, but when 
I click to reply, the requoted portion appears in extra large font 
(as below).  Any idea what's happening ?

This is all end-of-the-year housekeeping.

Happy New Year
