As you know, my MUA is mutt, and typing h reveals the header information on any email. Naturally, I searched for the strings above in Google, but none of them is known to it, even the gmail one. I also tried Googling for the string "why not exceed the lower staff line also", but no match there either. Nor for "least I recall speaking someone from a major publishing house" copied from Urs's posting. So perhaps you could tell me whether I'm using the wrong tools to search for the message context†in this mailing list (fairly new to me) which appears not to be indexed on the web. Is there a "go to" archive other than http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-12/msg00296.html that your MUA (having gnus in its name) perhaps knows about? On other lists, I've got used to just typing, say, 20150910160748.GB8353@alum into google and getting the relevant postings returned. †by context, I mean "how I would get to *see these noteheads*", not "how I would *follow a thread of machine-generated strings*". Cheers, David. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
