What do your web pages have to do with this? > but if applied to messages - which century can this be? 1900? 2100? Think, > man, THINK! no - try HARDER! ;-) When you stop assuming that people who ask you questions, or, even worse, answer them for you, aren't thinking you might stop seeing everything as an argument. Besides, why do you think the century has anything to do with this? > and I don't care what emacs makes of it. Yes you do, you asked the question to which emacs was one answer. Further to that you started to suggest that some of its code should adopt your form of writing dates. Have a think about the implications of what all this suggests about the continuity of message. > as if you couldn't guess. sheesh. I guessed that this is the sort of response I'd get. I hate being right about this sort of thing <sigh>. -- Dave Pearson: | lbdb.el - LBDB interface. http://www.davep.org/ | sawfish.el - Sawfish mode.
