Looking at the way other people use the mark in their messages, I think this explanation isn't correct. A scissors mark doesn't have to be at the beginning. The line has to contain the mark, and it has to consist of only the mark, '-' minus, the phrase "cut here", and whitespaces. I am not familiar enough with the code to comment on the bug you are reporting. -- Nanako Shiraishi http://ivory.ap.teacup.com/nanako3/
