Actually your statement is false.  The editor that CREATES the message
does have control over placement of the Clt-A lines int eh message body
and as such, SHOULD put them in the proper order.  IMHO.

-> hehe, i guess... but i see nothing wrong with the following (yes

FWIW, all my stuff is object based.  The style of you coding used here
is way too outdated for me.  Serial programming is where I cut my teeth
and I'd never go back to it.   I don't mean to sound critical, but
when you code for performance and efficiency, that's just not the best
way to handle it.
