I actually I pondered about it when sending
the file. I am sitting at home and I thought that it requires less
time to just glue the file to email rather than sending it first by
ftp and then attaching. It did not: I lost my temper
after having accidentally glued whole long file into Cc-line! I try to
remember in future that attachment works better.

Sorry. I am not sure whether I understand the question. Do you mean
these discussions as such? Latex documents should
be readable as such. You probably mean emails: it would require
a hard work to develop these sketchy formulas full of
errors to latex format.
I am used to write latex files in my PC. PCTex32. One
can translate the code to text and look it simultaneously while
editing it using second program.
