Steve,

Not to mention what it would have done to Al's message! Look at all those
"#:"s! There are just some basic assumptions that have to be made in order for
offline message processing to work. The possible combinations of scrambled data
boggle the mind, and the actual messages themselves can contain confusing
information, even TAPCIS will barf on a message within a message.

It does help to be a little flexible, though, maybe the scan routine in view
can be modified to ignore leading blanks when searching for "#:".

Bill
