Good good, I just saw the "unbounded" in your subject line and got
worried :) I'm pretty sure there's a way to parse that will preserve
the current nesting information, but others can describe that better
than I can.

The mailing list works well for me too. Google Groups is deceptively
easy for a lot of people, but if you look through the list's archives,
you'll see that the posts it makes are unwrapped (and thus string out
to the right an arbitrary length), and all quoted text is
double-spaced, among other problems. Its users are generally unaware
of this, and like you are not maliciously inflicting that on us all,
but that doesn't make it any less painful to read :) Thanks for
switching.
