Dear Thomas,

MDP>> Chevrons.

MDP>> ... <snip>


TF> ... you are using chevrons (is that where the name Chrevrolet

No I don't ....

TF> That is so because they appear in the plain-text section. In an

Exactly. As &lt; and &gt;, yes.

TF> Since the HTML viewer knows that this is not an HTML part, it

TF> CMIIW.

No you're perfectly right. And that would render them useless as
smilie delimiters because they won't appear as textual '<' and '>' any
more. So that, too, supports the thesis that it's not a good idea.
