It's more likely that your mail reader interpreted ">>" as a quoted
line and didn't show it to you. The final ">>" came through just fine
for me.
Hi James,
you are right, I looked at the source of the mail - Thunderbird
converts the >>.
Silly!
No, that is Internet-history, starting around 1980/1981 with Eric
Allman (UCB) boosting email with the first sendmail implementation in
the same time-frame as TCP was starting to be used (that is just after
lifting the restriction of max. 256 computers in a network if I
remember correctly!). Not only Thunderbird "does" this, but as soon as
in the whole email-chain there is one component based on SMTP text-
files and the good old sendmail, this phenomenom will appear. Email-
programs and mailers using text-files have to get rid of this to
protect themselves from silly easy hacks with overwritting files using
">>" and some other problems.
It is annoying, but part of our digital life. I don't think we will
ever get rid of this, get used to it.
Regards,
Wim.
Thomas
