My news reader doesn't seem to want to quote you which is a bit odd but


It's because he puts a couple of 'carriage returns' and two hyphens at
the top of his messages. Most news readers, well...mine anyway, assume
that everything below that is a signature, not to be quoted in
replies, i.e. his whole message becomes a signature, and his messages
don't get re-quoted. If you hunt around in one of the tools or options
menus in your reader there's probably a setting somewhere to over-ride
the automatic omission of signatures if you want to change it.



Thanks for the explanation, but nah, I don't think I'll be changing my
settings. :-)
