Hey all,

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.
I have been seeing the same sort of thing. I am running gmail under
firefox and IE. A couple of sets of replies I have seen under the
signature line (dash dash space CR/LF), resulting in a little head
scratching before realising what was happening.
99% of messages are fine though, and either get
displayed with quote
characters or displayed with a solid coloured line to the left of the quoted
text. If it's just me I'll try and find the cause though; if it's not
I'll
just put up with it :-)
Appears to be problems with bit rot... Although other things indicate
that the universe is ganging up on me today so I assumed it was just
me.
