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).
