I'm not causing any trouble, am I? I'm using Apple Mail.

You seem to top post, which makes it harder to break things _too_ horribly - and I say this despite preferring inline commenting when it's properly formatted.

However, your messages curiously often makes Alpine give a loud beep and a complaint that their signature doesn't verify...

Admittedly, my terminal mail reader Alpine itself has major problems (maybe the version here is just too old? 2.11.) It does not copy quote marks when wrapping quoted lines. It has a _heap_ of options, but no way to enable that which I can see... instead it supports a "flowed text" standard which would provide a similar feature - but it requires the email _sender_ to support it.

I just tried to see if enabling colors in Alpine would help - supposedly it can color quoted text differently from normal. It seems to work for lines quoted with "> ". But enabling the colors sets them to an absolutely revolting default that then needs to be changed for each of another heap of options, rather than starting with anything similar to the monochrome display, so I gave up.

Greetings,
Ørjan.
