Hmm... I can't remmeber doing anything diffrent between quoting myself and
quoting other peoples mail. But perhaps I did.

I'll guess the problem then lies in the other persons mailer then.

Sure (ASAP - that is when the source is out), an easy sollution would of
course be to just move the files to a subdirectory ("read" for instance).
But this has a few problems (someone might be using that directory
already), a .toc (Table Of Content) file might be better in some cases -
but it also has drawbacks (a need to read/write to the file which isn't
very fast, and what happens if a file isn't in the directory anymore? No
need to keep information on wheter it should be shown or not in such a case).

Haven't seen any such problems (but with perhaps 1000 messages I will - and
without my 32MB SmartDRV cache), only problem is the fact that I don't see
which mails are directed to me and which are not (and when I somehow
"screwed up" my replys it was even harder). Using a smaller partition only
for Arachne (lets say 100MB) would reduce the ammount of space allocated
that isn't used as well, so I doubt that's any big problem either.
Alternative to the move would be to add it to the end of some packed file -
thereby two problems would be solved but it would on the other hand be the
most time consuming sollution.
