Outlook is singularly bad for letting you use this style of email reply; I'd go so far as to argue it's primarily responsible for the shift away from this style of reply that was, for a long time in the history of the internet, very much the standard form. If you're able to use some other email client to interact with this mailing list (and mailing lists for other open source projects, which, IME, mostly also prefer this sort of reply format) you might find that easier. Personally, when I do have to use Outlook to interact with a mailing list, I end up copying the email into Vim, writing my reply there, and copying it back. (But even then, Outlook mangled your message something rotten: your email has a bunch of unnecessary Microsoft-proprietary headers, is base64 encoded for no good reason, and didn't automatically wrap the text lines at a sensible line length. Which, to be clear, is me having a grump about Outlook, not about anything you've done, other than use an email application that you might reasonably think would be able to send emails without mangling things so badly.) -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
