copying text from lists.runrev.com

2003-10-01 Thread rand valentine
hi, all. i have a really basic question. often, when i have a question about
runrev, instead of bugging/bothering the list, i open my browser and do a
google search on the list archive for relevant info, e.g. if i were
wondering about how arrays work (which I am!), then I would type:

array site:lists.runrev.com

well, this is great, because it's easy to follow threads, and i _should_ be
able to cut and paste a given thread to produce nice little threaded
studies of topics. but here's my problem: whenever i paste a message in
mac os x.2.6 [and x.2.8] (and i haven't tried other systems) all of the
quoted material (with lines beginning with  or ) in a message
collapses into a single paragraph, eg,

Yves, As long as cPoints only has student data (i.e. every element in cPoints
is what you'll be checking), you can do this: put  into myList put 1 into
elementNum repeat for each element e in cPoints if e = 5 then put line
elementNum of keys(cPoints)  cr after myList end if add 1 to elementNum end
repeat Hope this helps, 

now, the display in my browser has a line break before each  or . why are
the cr's before  so spineless, i.e., does anyone know why my computer
converts this into the useless mess above, and how i might correct it? i've
tried everything i can think of. does it have something to do with mac vs
windows linefeed/cr stuff? thanks.

It seems to be a (mis)feature of Safari. Does not happen with Mozilla.
