and strangely, yours appeared completely as a text attachment in Opera 7's 
"M2."  Though replying automatically inserted the text from the attachment.

Oh for the days when email wasn't screwed up with all the garbage we have 
now...I remember when everyone used "mail" or "elm" or (later) "pine" (on 
Unix, on VMS the mailer was a little different, and people on VM tended to 
use "profs").  The bottom line, though, is that email just *worked*.  The 
only annoyance being the rather silly ">" that sendmail would insert in 
front of any body-text line starting with a capitalized "From", to 
distinguish it from the headers & keep it from confusing other sendmails 
down the line.
