In this example, Nick's comment to Adam pointed out the problem as the
list footers (the bit saying which version, who to contact etc) was also
put in the reply, duplicating information that is under the hammer for
discussion at the moment for bandwidth usage.

Not something in TB itself, it is just general usage of emails.  If you
notice how my replies are formated to your emails, you'll notice how I
am snipping stuff that I find irrelevant to my replies, or trimming down
parts that are to save space, and make the point a little clearer.

Colourisations can be turned off I believe under the Options -
Preferences somewhere, I cannot remember the exact location.

Some of us like to read a conversation as if they were being had at the
time, makes flowing of ideas a little better.  Take the analogy of
hearing the punchline of a joke before hearing the beginning of it.  It
makes the punchline out of context until the actual joke is said, then
the person has to think back to the punchline to understand it again.
