I can't understand something. Perhaps it's my news reader. When I hit

any message, the message to which I'm responding is quoted. However,
this is not the case with your
messages. The only way my reply quotes you is if I copy and paste your
message in the reply.

Any ideas?

Greg - if you read this - you got any ideas?


The dashes he uses as a separator causes newsreaders to treat his
response as a sig line.
Sig lines usually aren't included in a reply. Maybe he wants it that way.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Didn't realize that. Does the upward arrows used in this reply as a
separator work? I use a separator because the most recent post to
which I am usually replying to does not have the traditional, single,
double, triple right facing arrows that identify a previously posted quote.


On my ipad the dash separator makes the following look like the sig line,
where the new separator has dark print.
