The Python Magazine people have now got a Twitter

Obviously that's why they're looking for a chief

even a deliberate ploy.
I'm not sure if this affects others, but to me your
replies appear
inside the quoted section of your mail, rather than
beneath it. Would
you mind writing plain text emails to avoid this
issue?
Thanks,

Like this...?
No, there's still a problem. You'll notice in this
message that there are ">" symbols in front of your lines
and benno's, and ">>" symbols in front of
Lowell's. (Some email readers will turn the > into
vertical bar, but the effect is the same). Your email
program should be adding those upon a reply, so that your
own message has one less > than the one to which you're
replying. Then everyone reading can see who wrote
what, based on how many ">" or bars precede the
respective lines. Quotes from older messages have more
of them.
Are you using "Reply-All" in your email program? Or
are you constructing a new message with copy/paste?
What email are you using? Maybe it's a configuration
setting somebody could help with.
