Not from mine as far as I can see, but your mailer does also fail to
quote correctly. Note how your text has "> " in the left margin - it
makes it clear what I'm replying to and what my reply is.

Secondly, your lines shouldn't be more than 72-76 characters in length.
As they are now, your paragraphs are just one long line, which is a
nuisance if your readers' mailers are also going to display them as one
long line that stretches off the edge of the screen. A line longer than
998 characters plus the terminal <CR><LF> is also in breach of the RFCs.

Finally, whatever you do, please *STOP* posting in HTML. HTML is for
web pages, not for e-mail.

Thank you for your consideration.
