Read the\ndescription of the fight with the chair, then  mantis's clever gloss on how\nthe points of the chair correspond to the points of the antlers. A buffalo,\neven the beloved sambhur, doesn't have that kind of equipment.\n\nAn African lion is what you're thinking of, and indeed he has the mane that\nKetin enjoys. But there is a tawny mountain lion with a big shaggy head in\nthe northwestern New World too, who stands in very well for Mr. and Mrs.\nKetin. And the description of Mimmunka is, to my mind, clearly that of a\nlynx or bobcat; a leopard would be described quite differently (and would\nhave spots!) What's more, dog was just a first guess for Cim; she is a mink,\nas the actual quotation from Wolfe (it's back there in the archive\nsomewhere) and her own erratic behavior make clear.\n\nThe Min as monkeys is certainly a new idea---but not one that I take to.\n\n-alga-\n "

Ditto for long quotes, especially quotes\n  of the boilerplate at the end of the digest.\n\n  Digest n035 had a couple of examples.  It seems that\n  \"Jason Voegele\" <voegele.6 at osu.edu> has a mailer\n  that does this automatically. \n\n  Thanks!\n\n  On another matter, Cim Glowing says she is named after\n  the \"cim glowing on the trees\" (approximate quote).\n\n  I can't find \"cim\" in the local big dictionary.  Any\n  ideas what it is?  Wolfe doesn't usually make up words,\n  but he does use obscure or archaic ones.  Tonight I'll\n  check my wife's OED.\n  \n        -John"
