That makes the addition of a blank line  between the query part and your 
post even more useful.  If you used quotes, preferably ">", then it 
wouldn't be quite so bad, but simple netiquette still says to plalce a 
blank line between your own post and the one you're responding to.  That 
is so even when the reply is being done inline, whree additionally there 
should be a blank line at the end of your para, too.  .
