Got it! Of course TB can't (at this stage) quote the blank lines.
Whose are they really? Were they in the immediate message to which
this reply is address or from the previous level and another client
has failed to quote them.

Quoting blank lines can end up misleading in mutli-level replies. I
have seen many Eudora quoted messages that, frankly, just look a mess.
And that's *nothing* compared to what OE will do if you let it! <g>
