I'm seeing a few messages where the text being
replied to isn't quoted
(anything from Al and Billy Pettit it seems, but there have been one or
two others) other than a separating line beneath old and new text, making
it confusing at first glance (particularly where the actual line and reply
might be off the bottom of the screen).
Am I alone in this? I just wondered if it's something broken within my
email client (Thunderbird) and it's stopped rendering what it thinks is
quoted text properly for certain classes of messages.
You are not alone in this. I think it has something to do with the way that
replies to HTML emails are generated. I find that emails sent to me as
plain
text get automatically quoted properly when I hit 'reply', but that HTML
junk
doesn't.
My theory is that others don't bother to manually put in the "> " before
the stuff that didn't get it automatically.
