- "RE:" in the header of a message is commonly used to indicate that the message is a response or reply to a message with the same title. The > symbol at the beginning of a line is used to indicate that the line is a direct quote from the original message. Quotes are automatic, although the children can choose to delete them.
- The children sometimes typed in all-capital letters; this was generally due to their lack of typing skills rather than a desire to "shout."
