It sounds like what people are looking for is some way to proactively cause
the "Brief" mode display to truncate content at a specific location --
presumably for spoilers...?
The "right" way to handle that would be to truncate anything following a ^L
(Or ASCII #12, i.e. Ctrl-L) character. Could a few people try something
for me in their web browsers? Click Reply to a message and try typing a
Ctrl-L character as part of the reply... If you're in Windows and Ctrl-L
doesn't show up as ^L or something invisible-but-present, try doing Alt+012
(that is, hold down the Alt key while typing 0 1 2 on the ten-key pad).
Any real text editor will allow Ctrl-L directly in a textfile but I'm not
sure about <TEXTAREA> boxes in HTML forms...depends on the browser I suppose.

Ya, I had to cut & paste what you wrote above in order to reply to this. :)
