I guess you tried to follow my discussion with Nicola Ken...
We tried to remove some content and reformat some wrapped lines. But
that's not so easy with a mail client that wraps everything at 72
characters !
I will try to be more carefull in the future. I experienced the same
problem with the interesting "Managing flow and resources" thread and
finally gave up. I keep the whole thread in my mail box to read it fully
one day !
