Onderwerp: Re: sequence of lines

When I expand your email to show all of the headers, I see this.

User-Agent: Microsoft-Outlook-Express-Macintosh-Edition/5.02.2106

Version Tracker and the Microsoft web site both say it requires Mac
OS 8.1 to 9.x.

I probably should have phrased it a little differently. I don't
consider an application that is running under Classic to be running
in OS X, but I should have said it in a way that made that clear. I
am surprised to hear that you can run it in Leopard.

That's just a question of style. I prefer to put separate statements
on separate lines, and to indent the lines that are part of a "block"
such as the lines between an If statement and its corresponding EndIf
or a Loop statement and the corresponding Until or While.
