When you have a file out of oops the Code line looks like

Code: hh hh ... <hh> ... hh\n

When copy'n'paste from, for example, email where sender or some middle
MTA split it, the line looks like:

Code: hh hh ... hh\n
hh ... <hh> ... hh\n
hh hh ... hh\n

The Code line followed by another oops line usually contains characters
out of hex digit + space + < + > set. That's what second paragraph
describes.

Should I resend with information above included?
