The "References:" header is this appendix. The mail or news reader can get at previous messages using that. It's called "threading". -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
