Oh. You mean, your stupid mail client cant even widen its display? Get
a real mail client then, dude.

See how fucked-up that comment is? Right. Same goes for another comment
stating that "every decent mail client can do processing". It's simply
not true. Like my statement above. People use all sorts of clients, and
they all have different capabilities.

Try that on my mailbox.

I don't feel like powering Asia. Just my own home would be nice, given the
VAXen here.

I still vote for a small [cc] tag. In front of the subject.

No.
