I forgot to CC the list on my last email.

What I am wondering is if a space to denote multiplication is
best or would it be better,say, to put parentheses around the
factors.  Adding the space would be easiest since at present
the multiplication is denoted by the "InvisibleTimes" entity:
⁢ which could easily be changed to a space.
