Some time ago, I have been waiting for a couple of months for a reply
from someone who had simply quoted my text, except for the first question
to which he replied with a full written sentence.

I did not understand why he only had answered that question and not the
others.

Those were questions in which I asked him under what code-number some
expenses had to be entered.

Turned out he HAD answered my question by putting numbers right behind my
question.

My original questions looked like this (not the real content, of course):

question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 perhaps was
+ same question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 and
/or question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 012345
also question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 012345?

to which he replied:

question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 perhaps was
+ same question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 and
/or question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 0123 1204 or 1205
also question 012345 question 012345 question 012345 question 012345? 4223

and so on.

It was only much later that I saw the added numbers. And looking at that
winmail.dat with winmail opener, I now see that he wrote those number in red.

Needless to say I would have seen his replies much earlier if I would have
looked at it with winmail opener.

Even if TB! would keep on showing the text version only, I now know that, to
make sure I do not oversee possible replies, I'd better open the winmail.dat
with winmail opener...
