On this list the convention is to preserve the line that Alan described. This is important because when quoting a conversation in a reply, the conversation may be nested: On X, A wrote: > On Y, B wrote: >> On Z, C wrote: The e-mail headers cannot assist with that situation. (Indeed, look at the quote above. It's now impossible to see that Alan was the person who wrote the first bit.) I too would be grateful if you could preserve those lines.
