And no, no one else is going to eliminate the >>>s just because you don't like them; it's a convention that's been used for years and years, and most of us are used to it and find it useful and find the lack of them annoying, to say the least. --julia
If the >>>s aren't a standard, they are at least a widely supported convention. I don't think I remember using a mail client that didn't use them, and it must be five years since I used one that didn't colour different levels of quotation differently. If people don't quote clearly, quote so much text that there's no new content on the screen when I load the email, or top-post or otherwise show themselves unwilling to provide me with context, I tend not to read their emails. I don't suppose most people consider that too much of a loss ;) Rich it's okay to ignore my feeble attempts to achieve coherence, rich, -) and julia already straightened me out on the top post rule. i have been making a real effort to preserve the context. this is a difficult interface for me and it is very difficult for me to follow sometimes so i try to excise the relevant portions. even when i engage in long e-mail exchanges with just one person it can get confusing. i wonder why mail client program(?) don't offer alternatives to more and more >>>>>s, like different font types, or colours. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
