[Steve Holmes]

Works for me probably 95% of the time.  I've run into a couple rare
ones where it gets caught on part of the quoted text that wrapped to
the next line.  Well, I ran into one tonight where it kept stopping on
a blank line and I never did find any new text.  I really wonder if
there was any reply text in that message at all.

But all and all, I've had very good luck with it.
