Sorry.  Sometimes I forget that there are some people out there who still
use legacy non-threaded inboxes.  I would recommend you consider switching
to Gmail or some other email client/service that supports threaded views.
That will make it a lot easier for you to follow these threads.  =)

To clarify again, I was under the mistaken impression that <?= was a new
alias for short_open_tag.  My argument was (and still is) against
short_open_tag.  I do see some use in this new echo alias for templating
purposes.
