Yes, I realized that right after I clicked send. However since it is also a common problem when posting from GG, maybe some other readers of this thread will find it useful. Re the specific problem mentioned, I just paste the original message into an emacs window, add the quote marks and paste back into the GG compose window. Another alternative is to use "paste as quotation" into a mail client compose window, and then paste back into GG. A small PITA but not a big deal if GG is otherwise convenient. But perhaps the same mentality that makes it just sooo hard to read a double spaced post (that one is willing to killfile a whole class of participants) is the same mentality that makes sooo hard to correct such posts to begin with. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
