regards
i don't think the whole (quote) and (/quote) thing will work too well, the problem is often that the lines of text get cut off so you get something like

> sdgfasdfgksdgfjdsgkdskgfjsdgjdkg nmfg dsfn mcnv bmcxvn bmxcvnb
df
> sdgfdsfgsdkjgfdksgf kdjfg kdfg dfn gmdfng dng mdfng mdfgn
dsdf
> skf skdg dmfg dkg kdfg dfgdf,gnsdfmgdsfgmsdgf
>

which really does not look good.

I just wonder if there is any clever logic that could be used more than the > line to take into these situations into account? i will have a think about it.

it is also the one time that i wish that vb allowed threaded listings like wwwthreads
