Thanks to the "business standard," (and think about the initials) of top-posting over the complete, unpared quote of the entire thread, there are an awful lot of email readers (and especially webmail interfaces) that make it difficult to follow any other convention, and a few that make it damn-near impossible. Just as there are an awful lot that make it difficult or impossible to send a plain-text email. Incidentally, regarding the Hollerith card origins of the 80-column standard, the very first Hollerith cards, from the 1890 U.S. Census, had 24 columns and 12 rows of round holes, and were punched with a pantograph punch. In 1928, IBM introduced rectangular holes, in an 80-column, 10-row format, later expanded to 12 rows. -- JHHL
