Did you notice there's a View Source command in the popup menu for each top-level message?

For example, here's the source of the previous post, a podcast about outliners and MS Word. You can see it's in JSON. And it contains all the replies to the post.

JSON is a simple text-based language that's roughly equivalent to XML. It's designed to be easy to process in JavaScript code, but you can read and write it from virtually any language or environment. It's a portable way of sharing computer-oriented information, and like XML it's also human-readable.

I needed this feature to help me debug the software, and decided to leave it in, because it might be useful in other contexts.
