Configuring Mail and News Readers
One of the joys of APL is the way that the expanded character set gives us brevity and clarity of expression.

Goal
What we want to achieve is a three-step exchange of APL code:
APL code in a workspace
is copy/pasted into a mail message or news posting body
Sent by Person A
may be forwarded and/or replied to (possibly more than once)
Received by Person B
is copy/pasted into a workspace
APL code in a workspace
