It certainly gives me the impression of having been written before it was

OK. I thought that finding "msg.saveMessage();" had been wrapped onto the
end of the preceding line since the rest of the snippet is one statement 
per line. I've noticed that some constructions - particularly 'bulleted 
points', i.e. lines each starting with '- ' tend to get wrapped by 
something in USENET and thought this was another case of it.
