I'm getting lost...
In this thread it was said that Insight e-mail had no prob with ">", or
other symbols. Then there is this set of examples...
So I took "clip and save" to mean "edit and 'save as'...". When I
"F4ed" this e-mail, all the ">" chars appeared as ">"...
Insight isn't handling these, it's properly converting them *twice*;
once as we save our work, and again as we view it...
Err, I did say that I'm lost, right?
