Huh! Where did the yodl thing came from? That goes to demonstrate that one 
should not combine serious reading of lilypond's documentation with reading 
email messages in top post style. One needs to throw too many brain cells

But my observation stands, to use col -b you need to output text with old 
style formatting ;-)
