Subject: Re: Perl to Ruby: regex captures to assignment.

I just wanted to point out that all of 7stud's messages (as far as I
know) in this thread have gotten truncated by the time they reached my
Gmail inbox. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Gmail or
ruby-forum.com or the list.

For instance, this is all I got for 7stud's most recent message:
