Dennis, my SSD thanks you for that advice.
Rory, threads are easier to follow if you set your email to put your reply at
top, then your sig, then the quoted content,
optional line or space to separate. Some businesses & support services insist
on this approach.
This is easy to set up in outlook.com and client from www.fossamail.org
(Windows and Linux).
Regards,
Donald A. Miller
