I see, so if the indents are thusly:







you can follow the thread, but colons

make it impossible?

Yopu should try using OEQuotefix which puts quotes from different people in
different colours...EG, this thread when read by me using OEQ has my
comments in blue, Franz's in red, Martin's in green and Sacha's in black,
also at the top of the thread where it says Phil wrote, Franz wrote, Martin
wrote etc, these names are in colours which correspond with the comments
('Franz wrote' is in a red font, 'Martin wrote' is in a green font etc)
Of course you can only use quotefix if you are using Outook Express...it
also strips signatures from replies and puts the cursor at the bottom
instead of the top.
