Yes, I've seen a lot of those.  Actually, with sender, subject and top
five lines, I can pretty much figure out what it's for.  However, with
this was reversed, I would not have known, he/she wanted to see me at
2 tomorrow w/o having to retrieve the whole message.  With a slower
connection (GPRS is supposed to be 56K, but I have never gotten
anything that close), it would take me more time to download the whole
message.  If a lot of people did this (and they do), I would be
waiting for the message download for a long time.

Yes, sorry about that.  I've always forget that you have to start a
new message rather than reply and change the subject/body.  Thanks.
