You also don't use an e-mail program that properly quotes articles.  I can't
figure out who wrote what with a ">>>" stuck in the middle of the letter.
Proper netiquette (or whatever the spelling is) has the greater than sign
in _front of every line_ that someone else wrote.  Characters other than
the ">" are fine as long as it is obvious that certain text was written
by someone else.  Your posts are very confusing to read--usually too 
confusing for me to figure what you are saying.  I usually ignore such
posts.  Nathan brought this to your attention before you had ignored him.
Since _most_ of us follow proper quoting procedures, you will find that
79 column test will not quote properly (heh..actually I'm breaking the
rules too by having a 76 column line, so flame me :).
