This is nothing else than what I wrote: "Annotating" being the operative word here. It is something completely different from "Changing" or "Altering". Your reply to me and mine to you are different messages than the original one. I cite your comments, upon which I comment anew, just for convenience (better to follow a discussion, honesty about the sender's intent etc.), I don't change them. With one exception, I "cut" them to the gist. If you or someone else thinks I did misinterpret and misrepresent you, you can say so and I have to give in on the latter part if you are right. What I cannot do is take your comments, adjust them as I like (even for private use!) and then either say it is mine or it is yours. What I can do, is write something that is clearly identified as a comment unto it (regardless if it is a letter in paper or an e-mail). And I again remind us of the Memo function which does exactly that and can be used in filtering for, i.e., archival purposes. -- Dierk Haasis http://www.Write4U.de http://Zoo.Write4U.de PGP keys available: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=SendMyPGPkeys The Bat 1.61 on Windows 95 4.0 1212 C In zweifelhaften Fällen entscheide man sich für das Richtige.
