exposes  a bug in the Mozilla Thunderbird Email client program (a popular
client).  It thinks that the > character is part of a quoted email line
and so  replaces it with a coloured vertical line. Unfortunately it then
sees the  next character is another > and replaces it with 2 vertical
lines etc.  What the display ends up with is a series of varying length
coloured lines  which the reader has to scroll past to then see what Mike
has actually  written (you have to scroll the window way down!).

Maybe if Mike  changed the divider line to use some other character - or
maybe letting  list members know of the problem and the fix may be worth
considering. If  you want me to post the fix reference to the list let  me
know.

Regards Tony.

Boy, one just can't win, can one?????????
I have never heard of this before from anyone, on any list I have ever been  
on.  Do you use some special weird email form?  
Sorry if I am causing you problems by trying to make things a little  clearer 
in my posts............
