Tricky for those that do not want (or cannot) use html formatting.Also most
mail clients use one of the common techniques foridentifying quoted text.
This is a pity because I find many of the GnuCash posts very difficult to
follow as they are usually formatted. What about indenting? Is that available
to all?

Certainly. I notice that you have not done this yourself.
I thought all of the text I quoted (left in) was related to my post; I had
certainly deleted a substantial amount of text from the original posts that was
not related to formatting. However, when I wrote that, I was really thinking of
the very lengthy posts that contain several re-quoted passages from a long
thread.

Not usually necessary.

Agreed, but note that I did add "if required" because there have been occasions
where an initial comment has been helpful.
