* MuttER [EMAIL PROTECTED] [020313 14:17]: My name is in the header and the sig. I receive very little uce/spam and have no filters expressly for rejecting same. this will change over time. dont worry. I do not know that I have ever read a book without paragraphs. BUT, I have read many books that did not have the paragraphs delineated by blank lines. Many use indentation for delineation. And many editors recognize indentation paragraphing. hmm... vim is not one of them. dang. Many editors would have difficulty recognizing and parsing your date format. Which editors parse for dates? examples? (anyone?) Please have the last word. whow would I get answers to my questions then? ;-) your turn. Sven
