Also, leave a blank line between quotes and your replies.  It is very

This. Drives me crazy. How hard is it to hit a single Return before
starting to type?
Twice is even better...

Quite apart from making a clear distinction between quotes and new
content, for humans to read easier.  Many mail programs will join the
reply into being part of the quote without the blank line between them.

Sorry, this is my fault. I'm used to working with html mails where the response is black text and the quotes are colour coded for quotes from different responders, and I keep forgetting that environments that insist on using text only potentially don't have the colour coding to make things obvious.

Just on the formatting front, the way the quotes are formatted, with Tim's name above his quote and Patrick's name above his quote, from what I'm seeing is a recent departure from what I'm used to seeing as standard for quotes.

regards,
Steve
