Subject: A funny with angle brackets
Today I re-read from techdiver's WWW archive some of my old messages. I 
noticed that, in those messages, particular important words had been censored 
out. I suspect that somewhere between (a) automatically removing excess bulk 
of quoted lines as distinguished by initial right angle bracket, and (b) some 
funny misbehavior related to the special way that HTML code treats angle 
brackets, any word that I put in angle brackets to emphasize it was deleted.

As well as in using angle brackets as emphasis, such behavior by archivers 
threatens trouble in handling messages that include the "greater" or "less" 
symbols in equations describing decompression or the like, or if someone 
wants to include a fragment of C program code describing some aspect of 
diving.
