I don't know why that's happening to you. That's normal when you 'forward', but I've never seen that when 'reply'ing. Normally, GMail wraps the lines of a reply before prefixing every line with '>'. (This wrapping behavior was disabled by a prefixed '>', which was your rather clever discovery.) Are you using any of the Google Labs GMail extensions? (To see, click the icon of a gear in the upper right, choose 'Settings', and see if there's a 'Labs' blue tab along the top of the settings page. If not, you don't have any labs; if so, click on it and see if one of them might affect your replies.) It may be why you keep using '>' as a long-paragraph prefix -- you don't realize how annoying it is to everyone else because your account behaves differently. (If I haven't been clear before I apologize. I've been trying to provide constructive feedback on the annoyance your experiment with '>' causes me. I'm not sure exactly why you're still doing it, since you never actually said why... Your only justification has been that it's an experiment, but I'm not sure why an experiment with such dismal results would still be ongoing -- you have 2 complaints and 0 described benefits.) As a side comment, I'm also seeing what Raul saw -- your '>' no longer seem to stop the lines from wrapping. > greg > ~krsnadas.org -Wm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
