No, I'm just saying that you haven't read all of my message, because you
assumed that I don't know how to quote previous messages properly. But I
do, and in fact I did even before Internet was known to the public, and
that's because you will always see my comment or answer below every
quoted text in my messages. Read e.g.:

http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/http/quote.html
http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/~guckes/mail/edit.html

http://www.fix.no/info/message_guidelines.html

to name a few, and you'll exactly know what I meant.

Yes, I thought so. MSIE often ignores HTTP headers.
That's a very serious bug and incompatibility with HTTP specification.
