Deep sigh..... Do you know why I changed it? Because I was getting several M$ Outhouse correspondents complaining that my messages (using the 'standard' '>') were 'difficult to read'. I could never get them to explain exactly how/why they were difficult to read. It was like they were seeing something completely different with bits of text missing. Not just word-wrapped..... They were very insistent that I top post rather than use (to me) standard quote-reply method... I haven't confirmed it yet, but after reading a few notes on the web, I was testing the possibility that Outhouse was incorrectly attempting to parse the '>' as an HTML marker and mangling my messages..... But if this is really messing up people (or software) on this list, I'll put it back to '>'... - C
