Well, I don't know about that; it just makes it longer overall,
I*M*HO.

My uncle is a huge nut about it, and he's a cc:hell and lotusmail fan.
I think it comes from the corporate world where you have (had?) to
have wide margins on your papers, presumably because folks had to be
able to scribble in them because they couldn't annotate any other way,
and now these users just wig out when they see stuff all the way at
the left edge of the page.
Then again, maybe we should like it; with a quick extra-space-filter,
we could make that much more room on the right side for ageless
generations of indenting by newbies :-)
