If we're talking about folders, I think that +/ would only generate a
leading double-slash if .mh_profile:Path were /, right?

The problem with bottom posting and eliding content is that we no
longer see what the original problem was. Unfortunately, bottom posting
and not eliding content means that you have to scroll to get to get to
new content below the fold, and the context is hard to read with varying
quoting styles. That's why I've migrated to top-posting over the years.
But I digress.
