Iy -> usually becomes messy as soon as you respond. This is my last message on this subject. If you want to reply to me, please do so privately. Re: line space: it's 5 characters. Most of the lists I'm subscribed to (mostly Open Source projects) have some such prefix, and it really does help. It helps me, anyway. Second: Mailman and Majordomo both support the idea of a prefix; i.e., the prefix is not added on every time somebody replies. The prefix will only appear once for each message. On all the lists I maintain we have a prefix, and nobody's complained about them. Obviously, it's always up to the list maintainer, I was just throwing the request out there. --Derek
