Thanks for the tip Greg; I remember now that you have mentioned this before. I thought that this could provide the means for shielding scripts from the dreadful Gmail wrapping but I tested it unsuccessfully by sending a message to myself to another account (which is not a Gmail account). The wrapping was still there even after preceding each line of the script with >. It obviously works for you; perhaps the problem is that I manage my Gmail account using a browser (IE).
