Sorry. The reason that I have done so is that my primary mail client (GMail web) automatically folds quoted text (marked by ">" at start of line). (I'm not sure whether my secondary client (mutt) can do so.) When I first saw this message, I thought I would be slammed for top-posts (I have been guilty a few times). Anyhow, I shall keep this in mind. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
