[Elecraft] Quoted text

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Paul,

I occasionally have that problem with my e-mail client (MS Outlook).  Most
days it does indent and prefix with the ">" character, but occasionally it
does not.  I have not persued any answers, but just put up with it when it
happens.

The rule here on the reflector is to strip off all but the relevant parts of
the previous message and strip off the bottom header.

Yes, I agree that the previous text must be identified - I view maybe 100
e-mails a day and don't want to take the time to search for the parts that
have been added.  When I have trouble spotting the new text, I usually just
operate the Delete key.
If I had my way, top posting would be the preferred standard - it saves a
lot of time.

73,
Don W3FPR
