One thing worth mentioning is that the [line], [line~] and [vline~] objects clear the values send to the cold inlets after sending a message to the hot inlet. This makes sure you can do:
[1, 0 1000(
If this wasn't the case, then the [1( message would take the last ramp value, instead of setting the state immediately.
This is a bit off an oddity, because usually objects keep values stored in cold inlets.
Everything IOhannes and I said is actually clearly documented in the help patch for [line], but missing in the help patches for [line~] and [vline~]. Maybe they should refer to [line] more explicitly...

Hi list,
what is the function of the second inlet of line~ and the second and third inlet of vline~? The help patches don't mention it and the list
both [line~] and [vline~] only have *float* inlets.
however, you will mostly send "list" messages to those objects, so how does this work?
if you send a message [0 100( to [line~], you are really sending a "100" to the second inlet, and then a "0" to the first inlet. similarily, if you send [1 100 50( to [vline~], you are really sending "50" to the 3rd inlet, then "100" to the 2nd inlet and finally "1" to the 1st inlet.
