While you may think you've made it clear that a new author is responsible for the bold or highlighted text you're inserting, it frequently happens that people will change font or bold or highlight certain phrases or words in their own message for emphasis. The best method to reply is to do what I've done here with your message. I've replied by inserting my text cursor at the point in your message where I went to insert my reply and then hit enter a couple of times before typing. My reply is no longer indented with your message so it clearly appears to be written be me instead of by you. > How did you miss the bold, Jeff? > Your bold text probably wasn't missed by Jeff. The problem is knowing who bolded the text. -- Regards, Kenneth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gmail-Users" group.
