"you should conform on that format"
e-mail is free form. If you don't like the content you can always ban the person from your e-mail list. Unless the person is spamming it seems wrong to ask a person to conform.

If you look at this: https://messaging.its.monash.edu.au/stats/client/ it paints a very different picture -- one in which thunderbird pretty much destroys everything else COMBINED. Not that I'm advocating that statistic over any other. If thunderbird is anything like firefox (as compared against outlook/ie), then it is steadily growing. Amazing that Firefox is bigger than the SUM OF ALL version of ie according to http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp -- you'll note that browser stats are much easier to gather than email client stats -- just need to take a look at the logs on a severely high traffic server, like google. Email users tend to group together and don't necessarily tend to intermingle making stats VERY difficult to gather. Oh, and just so you're aware, that site you referenced has TWO sets of data, the second one puts YAHOO above outlook. You should also read the fine print... that as with anyone else looking at email stats, their data is gathered from RESPONSES TO SPAM (or maybe its SPAMMERS), but it is some weird group that is not likely to be indicative of reality. In any case, you are posting on a google group. The google software will crush the quotes in their particular way, so you should conform to that format and ditch your incompatible craplook. I use Outlook 2007 due to my mail being on an Exchange server. It's a shame your quoting extension can't cope with the quoting mechanism used by the mail client with the largest market share (seehttp://fingerprintapp.com/email-client-stats- All versions of Outlook use a similar quoting system), maybe it's worth updating your code to handle Outlooks quoting as it's not really an edge case in terms of quoting internet emails. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
