I have to admit in the time i have been participating on the list
i have noticed quite a few confusingly quoted posts. In all fairness
i strongly suspect that the primary culprit in this issue, is badly
configured mail readers. Perhaps everyone could give this issue
a few minutes of attention so as to avoid accidentally offending.
