No need for these \ here: the logical line proceeds until the
closing ) to balanche out the leading, opening (.  Remove
the backslashes and gain a tiny bit of elegance at no cost.

Maybe, but KNode (the newsreader from KDE 2, my chosen
desktop environment on LInux) seems to be removing or
hiding from me the indentation in this case (when I reply,
only; I can see the indentation when just reading -- it's
even worse with Outlook Express on Windows...).

This makes further commenting too hard.  Please use spaces,
not tabs, in code you post or otherwise publish, because tools
vary in their ability to handle tabs (and it's unlikely I'll change
newsreaders just because the two I prefer don't handle tabs
correctly:-).
