BNF? Eh?

I didn't say it was standard -- I said it comes out that way.  I've edited
a few massive "I'll post a summary to the net" articles in the past, and
when looking at 120 responses from all over the planet, I've seen *all kinds*
of wierd stuff.

This comment on my part was a side note -- a script that reflects mail (which
the comment was directed to) needs to concern itself with the mail that WILL
arrive, not the mail that OUGHT TO arrive.

Pfa.  Now someone will say that ALL MAILERS should do that also -- which is
the general case, rather than the specific one I was addressing.  Be cool.
