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.Not sure what you mean. The style you mention is the default in Evolution and other mailers, and is what I've been using for over 20 years.
In the previous mail I was referring to, where Tim's name appears above his portion as "Tim:" in black and your name above your portion as "Patrick O'Callaghan:" also in black, which makes it stand out from the colour coding of the quotes, has only been exhibiting itself that way recently. I've only been seeing mails on this mail list being displayed that way within the last week. In the past none of your emails have ever displayed that way, they all displayed like this one I'm responding to, which doesn't have that same text header. I'm not saying that it is a problem, I'm just commenting that from my perspective it is not usual.
regards, Steve
