Hi Ulf, did you ever send a reply?

I don't understand it properly upt to now.
However, sometimes I get an error warning of a broken pipe for cat.
Ho do additional spaces affect the function? I tried some reformatting in
order to understand the various levels of "'`, but this results in a
perfectly different script, ending in an alias command. Where did I insert
an error? Are those spaces read as space, that is read next message?
Here's an extra wish:
+ Tag the thread <esc-tag>
+ change the thread to read: <;w>N
How should this be done?
Thanks
Martin
