Hi Mary

NVP>> You  also  using regular expressions in your reply template? Could be this
NVP>> is causing your problem.

MB> Could you explain how this might play into the mix? I do have regular

Sometimes  the  behaviour of complex regexps can be tricky to predict - ie, it's
easy  for  them  to  be buggy, and remain that way without anyone noticing until
specific  conditions  arise. (Like Cold War sleepers. :) ) Then one can find odd
bits being 'randomly' chopped from text, only to find on closer examination that
yes,  the  regexp  really  _is_ written to do that, but it wasn't clear until it
actually happened.

(Or is this just me? :) )

I  only  mentioned  them  in  this  context  because I recently discovered (with
Miguel's help <wave>) that it's a bug in a regexp in my reply macro which causes
selective quoting to fail.

MB> P.S., OT: I enjoyed so much your comment on my postings to the OT
MB> tongue-twister/woodchuck thread. I would have replied, but was afraid of

You're very, very welcome. I enjoyed that thread tremendously. I've now joined
OT, so could have taken it OT - except everyone seemed to be happy where we
were. And the mods (thanks, guys <wave>) were being very indulgeant towards us
that day. :) (Or dare I say chuck-le? :) )
