Upon downloading a message that was a response to my message, I get this:

OK! Maybe we'll get Windows for Workgroups 3.11 back again. Yippee. I can't

Question: From where comes the "-Hide quoted text-" and "-Show quoted

Is that from one of my settings in Agent, or from the responder's (in this
case, Tim) settings in his program.

If it's my setting, how do I change it?

TIA


It comes from Sergey Brin and Larry Page two of the most duplicitous
pricks that ever started up a search engine. Anything China wants they
do and screw the rest of the world.

It is from Google's worthless web interface to newsgroups.


OK. I thought it might have been one of my settings. But, as I can see from
your response, it doesn't always happen.

Thanks.
