Allegedly, on or about 4 April 2018, Samuel Sieb sent: > Careful with the quoting. Maybe it's related to the html format of > the email, but your text appears as part of what you quoted There's a bunch of mail clients that stupidly extend the quote symbols beyond the quoted text (Evolution included), and if you don't delete them (which Evolution often refuses with HTML messages), or carriage return even more space between quote and reply, that kind of thing happens. Sometimes Evolution will join quoted text and replies, even when there's clearly an empty blank line between them in the editor. In all the years I've been messaging on the internet, Forte Agent was about the only one that could quote to my satisfaction (YAM and PINE on the Amiga coming close). It did quoted text with neatly packed >>> multi-generation quote symbols (no straggling spaces between them), could quote verbatim, could re-wrap quotes without mangling, could neatly interrupt quoted paragraphs, did line wrapping properly, managed to identify the difference between quoted text and replies without a blank line between them... Out of what I've tried on Linux, Evolution is the least worst (Thunderbird, Claws, kmail, balsa, being the ones that I can remember off the top of my head). Spread across them, awful quoting, hideous interface, terrible listing, etc. Web interface ones are two awful, and inconvenient, to bother with. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.15.10-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 17:14:41 UTC 2018 x86_64 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. Programmers who can't take criticisms shouldn't release software that invites it. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
