I suspect you've got an option set to mask/hide/mute/silence quotes in replies. Some mailers offer that as option to make it easier to see new content in messages that are bloated with unedited quotes of prior messages. But they can get confused when respondents do not put a *COMPLETELY* blank line between quotes and responses, and the mail client can end up muting the whole thing. And that is what was done in the apparently blank message that you commented about. They left a ">" marker below the quotes, between the quote and their response, instead of removing it to leave a blank line between quote and response. That kind of thing confuses various mail clients that colour or dim the quoted text, to make it easier to find new content. It isn't that easy to read messages splattered with messy quoting with comments jammed in bits. People really need to make it easier to read their responses. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 (always current details of the computer that I'm writing this email on) Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
