Ah.  The email I quoted (or possibly one of the others in the thread, as I've
not kept all of them) contains in its raw form:

   This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
   --------------UV9t08ohcUgOfViJQN0sYfFC
   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed
   Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

   Given the following Rexx program:

       a=.array~new
       /a[1,1]="a"/    /* first usage, makes array a two dimensional array */
       /*a[4,5]="b"*/

so the enclosing slashes are definitely present in the supposedly plain
text part of the mail. 

If Rony is writing his text in rich text form, how does the plain text part
of his mail get created?  Presumably there's some sort of automatic
translation going on? 

Does he need to mark up the rich-text part differently, eg labelling the
snippets of code as, well, code?
