Hi Bill,
On 22 October 2000 at 12:25:05 GMT -0400 (which was 17:25 where I
live) Bill Grant wrote and made these points on the subject
of "! 1.46d: quoting question":
BG> I respectfully disagree. The situation you describe is a very
BG> minor inconvenience (one key stroke). You have made the assumption
BG> that the responder wishes to comment on EVERY paragraph of the

Moderators Note: If you have no comment to make on a paragraph then
that paragraph should *not* be included in the reply, or should be
heavily trimmed to provide any important contextual information. This
is basic netiquette.
BG> Personally, I find it difficult to follow "who said what" with

.. and I find the opposite to be true.
BG> I STRONGLY prefer every line, including blank lines to include the
BG> quote mark. Can this be an optional setting in the next version?
I personally doubt that this would be made an option. Anything that
breaks the way TB's editor is designed to work best tends not to be
implemented, no matter how well the concept may be rationalised.
>> we decided not to quote blank lines. And, from my point of view,
>> absence of quote marks at the start of blank lines makes quoted
>> text more readable...
I agree with Stefan's paragraph legibility comments here.
