No. The last line (the one you typed most recently) should have nothing in front of it but instead has '> ', which is the convention for "this is quoted material" (and of course now it has two copies of '> ' since I'm quoting it back to you). IOW it's exactly the same as the rest of the message, which actually *is* quoted material, so there's nothing to distinguish it. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
