Well, you may be able to resist putting extra spaces in Marc's
comments, but as a former graphic artist I can't resist seconding
Marc's recommendations. Double spaces after periods is left over from
typewriters. Typesetters never used two. Just one. It looks better. You
needn't publish this to the whole list, as I doubt all those interested
in mechanical instruments care much about typography. I appreciate your
editing, but I wouldn't spend too much time correcting errors. After
all, it tells us something about the writer, and there's a certain
integrity in preserving the actual way it was sent [minus the
superfluous requoted text, of course]. And I agree it would be helpful
for writers to provide pertinent subject lines.

Best, Keith
