I don't think the idea is as clever as you think, for example, how can
dnA( ?asrev-eciv ro thgir-ot-tfel morf daer ot deen uoy fi tceted uoy
how will the computer?) Actually, I can't see of a good reason to do

. . and how useless is that, when pretty much all my "writing" is done
with a keyboard anyway?

I hit "dd" one time too few, and an extra line was left in the email by
accident. If you pay attention to the indention of name-cites, you may
notice that the way my previous email was structured essentially
attributes no words to you at all. There are three previous email
authors cited, and two pieces of quoted text.
