Letter: Poet with peas?

Published 18 May 2002

From Greg Keogh

Not only can truncated email subject lines produce curious results (Feedback, 20 April), so can truncated file names. A few minutes ago I downloaded an MP3 file of a famous orchestral work by Franz von SuppĂ©, and as I play it now I notice it’s called “Overture to Poet and Peas”.
