I learned to use email when I did usenet, that was on the university
system. So I started out doing email just like usenet posts, trimming,
interleaving, etc. I still do it that way at work, even though no one
else does. However, on the grand list of reasons why they think I'm
weird, that's down fairly low, I suspect. No one ever mentions it.
