Yep, it's there, and it's good to have a convenient way to get to charters.

But I notice that (at least in Pine) the charter links are more than a
screenful of text below the front of the message.  If all I did was reply with
my "x" in the right spot I'd never notice them.  In fact, I bother to check to
see if the quoted message in the confirmation e-mail does look vaguely like
what I wrote. . .and I still didn't notice the charter links until I read your
message and went back to look.  Is there some positioning that can make the
charter more obvious?

Something else that might be helpful would be a link to the appropriate group
charter from the "Before you post" screen when using the Web interface.  Those
are dynamically generated anyway, right?

(...) well, I'm open to suggestions - though I think the message authentication part is more important... especially after the first time you post. These links are more to allow you to look up a charter when you need it, than to force you to read it (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.admin.general)
