   	Let's put into the mix that some of us -- I plead guilty --
   	have no hesitation in revising and extending the Subject,
   	so that "threading" can become discombobulated.

   (Is not E-mail properly like a conversation?  can one make rules? can
   one enforce said rules?  Perhaps we should all read Castiglione or
   Lord Chesterfield, thus developing exquisite conversational manners?
   The comfort is: the inverse of Gresham's Law obtains.  More attention
   will be paid to the person who E-mails with consideration and thought)


And indenting the new material, as opposed to the quoted material from
the previous message makes things much much harder to read.
