if your MUA doesnt color the text to make it easy, maybe you should consider a different MUA for example mutt can color code text based on how many ">" are there at the begin in fact mutt lets you write your own rules for how to color the mails I would assume any half decent MUA should be able to do something similar Thanks [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Awnsering whenever a program halts or runs forever is On a turing machine, in general impossible (turings halting problem). On any real computer, always possible as a real computer has a finite number of states N, and will either halt in less than N cycles or never halt.
