[R-sig-finance] Problems with monthly sequences

[Vivek Satsangi]

1. Why does subtracting 3600*24 (seconds, I presume) in DW's solution work?

2. Does anyone who uses gmail and gets this  DL's emails in digest
form have a good method for responding to just one message (I use
reply/edit subject/delete everything from the quoted material except
for the message I want to respond to -- That's obviously not much fun
when trying to respond to an r-help message for which the digest can
be long, and where one can end up fat-fingering the cut&paste of the
message (thus breaking the thread. )
