I don't understand your post - the "full text" copied below was
written by me some time ago, but this has nothing to do with the
quotation from this week in your earlier post, claiming that
Reginar was duke rather than count in 905, that was mistakenly
ascribed to me.
The problem Peter is that this original message was embedded within
a post that you replied to. So when I replied, it carried the part
I was cutting and attached your email as the sender. You had not
sent the embedded quote, you had responded to it. So I will have
to be more careful next time, to try to find the *original* email in
order to respond to a portion of *it* instead of
responding to an email that is already a *reply*.
I find that replying to replies works just as well as going back to
the original - the chevrons build up with each reply, so that the
last writer's post appears with just one at the start of each line
(as above), the last but one with two chevrons (again as above,
although I had to amend this because your e-mail settings had
somehow altered it to <<...>> instead), and so on.
Tim replied;
Precisely. But you are using Microsoft Outlook and have obviously found
how to get this to work right. Will is using AOL and I have gathered
in the past that they offer software that just does not do quoting
properly. Unless anyone knows different of course.

My AOL messages used to be Okay until roughly six months ago. At my end the
reply looks as it always did, with a blue line (rather than chevrons) on the
text being replied too, and this was converted to chevrons. I am not certain
if the change came with the upgrade to AOL 9 or if was a change in
rootsweb's software.
