OK, so I will be able to pipe an emacs buffer through bidiv, similarly to what I do with M$ HTML garbage (pipe it through lynx -stdin -dump) and with some Word docs I get (pipe them through strings). Great. Now how do I reply citing original? Nadav, will you please give a URL for bidiv - I'll try it on Diego's posting? > How difficult is that? It is, if you 1) do your emailing inside a superb editing environment whose only drawback is lack of Hebrew support; 2) do it on a laptop with no Hebrew keyboard; 3) linux-il is the only reason you need Hebrew in your editor. > Don't give me the "but I switched!" bull OK, here is a different "bull": I've never used vim in my life. -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] If it aint't broken it hasn't got enough features yet. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
