Yes, I did.  I was just misunderstanding what people were saying since I could 
not actually see what they were on about.  I do not regard the scanning of 
prosody as being part of the letters.  Bob specifically mentions characters, 
not extraneous informatuion, which is not part of the letter.

E.g.:
primus ibi ante omnes
pronounced:
primus ib' ant' omnes
is complete without the information about the metre.
