Every now and then, I notice someone including a rotated *phrase* or line embedded in an otherwise-normal-text article. I have never figured out how to read these. Could someone post the secret series of commands in "rn" on how to do this? I can easily unrotate an entire article by using the "x" or "CTRL-X" commands, but how do you unrotate just a single line, or part of one line and the next? The only thing I have been able to do is to try to remember the context, and then rotate the whole article with CTRL-X or x and look for the readable phrases. This seems rather awkward and I figured there must be some beter, elegant way that everybody else knows and I'd like to get in on the secret. :-) "Solutions" that involve writing the posting out to a file and then piping it through various filters or processing it need not be posted; it isn't worth such time and effort. If this can't be done within the standard news-reading programs, then the inclusion of rotated text within an unrotated article should be considered violation of nettiquette and grounds for flaming the poster.
