Is there a specific reason why some of you folks don't have your email software adding the quote characters "> " to the quoted material from the messages to which you are replying, or is it just an accident? It makes it very hard to see what the reply is and who has replied (see below for an example). I've never seen this behavior before I joined this mailing list. Thanks, Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ Paul, My particular e-mail software just does not appear to do what you ask, only quotes any parts I happen to highlight on the original document. This shown at least to me as indented text as is your original message quoted at the head of this reply, but which unfortunately gets lost through the system. Also, which I think is even more important, try to keep the parts of the original included brief, only use the parts that have relevance to my reply. One day may find the method of doing what you ask to include the ">" characters and let you go away rejoicing. Conversely I find the use of continual ">" characters cloud the whole message with semi useless information that is even more frustrating when posters persist in adding the whole message when it is not really needed, plus *all* of any previous multiple replies with double and triple ">" characters. Must really use up Eric's storage space for the Reflector. It sometimes gets bewildering to search though such messages to find what the poster's reply actually is!
