Most, but not all. Microsoft email readers thread, but have a tendency to break references in such a way that only other Microsoft mail readers thread it right.

You believe correctly, though conversational quoting is something that really should be an automatic, net-wide assumption. Anybody who gives you grief for conversation quoting is either a newbie on the level we haven't seen since AOL got out of the internet-connected BBS business, or they repel all clue. Either way, they just aren't worth the time to email if they're going to give you grief for conversational quoting. -- Paul Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
