 | Once again, this archive has truncated my essay. To read
 | the complete text of my essay on language design, which I
 | have now sent twice to r6rs-discuss at r6rs.org, you will

I received the totality of your essay both times through email. The
only quirk was that line 435, "From page 18:", comes through as ">From
page 18:".

Perhaps this is a problem with your mail reader interpreting the
word "From" with a ":" after it at the beginning of a line as the
start of a new message. This could be the case if the truncation
happened after:

  ...
  <record name> will flow into arbitrary contexts. In
  other words, the rtd-flow analysis required by the
  5.97 draft is already as bad as it could be, so my
  proposal can't possibly make it any worse.
