Word. Moreover, having seen the dismal uses to which even non-malign senders put HTML markup, it would have to be _my_ HTML markup, not the sender's.

My own MUA displays quoted text in green and new text in white against a gloriously black xterm background. (HTML gets autostripped, and good riddance.) But anyway, I'm sympathetic with Mr. Weinstock's problem, as e appears to be stuck on some corporate use of a osted MS-Exchange Server instance (meaning, I guess MS-Outlook on the desktop?), but he'll find that doing whatever's necessary to implement Internet-standard quoting is the best solution in the long term. Early this century, Outlook users would be helped by pointing them to Dominik Jain's Outlook-Quotefix. These days, maybe https://www.slipstick.com/outlook/email/to-use-internet-style-quoting/ or https://github.com/tk/macros4outlook . _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list License-discuss@lists.opensource.org http://lists.opensource.org/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org
