Thanks to those who pointed out the errors in my manner of inserting interpolations - in fact, I did try to do something like this by putting in spaces and inserting a dash before my comments, but much was lost by the system not copying how I separated text (eg see the extract below). And I don't understand why this is either...... regards Martyn

Why ignore the de-facto standard that exist for quotes in mails since the beginning of time (long before "the internet" became a thing). Quotes are prefixed with '>' (or, if you insist, with '|'). That way you can even quote quotes etc. Any decent mail client will do this automatically when you chose to 'reply' to an email. > You could yourself have made them clearer by putting marks like plus > signs or asterisks or whatever at beginning and end.
