The greater than signs are there because some email programs put them there on each line of an email. They were not in the original. You replied to a reply to the original message. Apparently, that person's email program adds greater-than signs to forwarded and replied to messages. They may be able to change this or they may not, depending on their email program. To avoid this problem, just make sure you copy from the original message, not a reply to it. That way, the problem will never come up.
Most email programs will allow you to change this behavior. It's a sighted thing, where the sightlings se something surrounding the things that are not in the most recent message in the chain. If there is yet another message underneath, it gets yet another greater than sign. You can go as deep as you want to with this. I know I have seen a big, long row of greater-than signs at the bottom of a message that has had many replies, so that there is not much actual text on each line. I have no idea why sighted people need all this visual coddling, but apparently, they do. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Linda S. via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, August 24, 2020 1:22 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Linda S. <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] Modification of recipe for home made taco seasoning.
