From a stand point of never having <<SNIP>>


I have seen an effect that seems very pervasive, whereby any line
starting with the word "from" seems to be prefixed by the greater-than
sign. Anybody aware of what originates that very bizarre modification;
I highly doubt this is something people are choosing to do by themselves
and that instead this is the effect of some client [email] software? It
has a conspicuously deleterious effect on USENET styling of message
quoting [which is what the archives quoting depends on], because the
text appears to be something that was quoted from a prior message rather
than being part of the message. See that effect in the archive of the
above quoted message:
