Mark, this is one of the few times I will quote an entire message, but it's
only to show you that whatever reader/editor you're using is what messed
the quote up. But it might very well not be the reader/editor you're using,
either.

Mainly, this is so you have a little more knowledge in the argument
involving you, Carol, and the others in another echo.

The original reply from Richard seemed to have cut the text off at the end of
the lines. Maybe what was cut off was actually saved in RAW format, but cut
off to fit in the 80 or less characters per line? If this is the case, it's
probably one of Synchronet's external editors (can't really blame
Synchronet, as there is no "default editor" for it).

Anyways, I know I'm more or less continuing the beating of a dead horse
here, but figured I'd mention what I noticed.
