this email method

I have yet to figure out the advantage of posting to the blob via email -

but I am doing it now anyway - though composing a message according to the
restrictions of an email program seems to compound the already frustrating problems
associated with formatting inherent at the glob -

or perhaps all this is due simply to my own technical ineptness -

at least I can indent and italicize -

although Jean kindly taught me the benefits
of the pre-code last year, I never have managed to get it to work to the point where
words remain in space on the blab precisely as intended -
