[bksvol-discuss] Re: dis dis dis

I have found that when converting from ARK to RTF there is a tendency to 
find that a lower case d has been inserted at the beginning of each and every 
line with a triple d at paragraph breaks. I wonder if this is related.

the earth, and I am a citizen of the world." Eugene V. Debs
