I looked at one of Roger's mails. The line endings are (in Hex) 3D 0A,
which is "equals sign", "line feed", rather than the more common
"carriage return", "line feed" (Windows) or one of them only (other
OSes).
So there is something funny about the text editor he is using.
He also tends to quote the whole thread, which displays as a solid block
with lots of the usual "greater than" marks to show quote levels.
Perhaps the editor is awkward to use.
