As far as I can see it adds nothing to the original messages when you 
reply/forward/etc them.    Actually I sort of miss the way mh would tag the
messages as having been replied/forwarded/printed etc, I guess there 
would be some way to achieve the same with mew.   But I'm not that advanced
of a user.... or maybe just too lazy.

Thanks.   Actually I just moved offices and my main-web-surfer-machine hasn't
