I wrote that comment (and didn't see Daniel's original reply, either). Many (but not all) of Daniel's postings appear as HTML documents in my newsreader (currently back to Outlook, not outlook express).

I have to switch it back to plain text format, which then removes all the indentations, reply characters and so on, meaning that I am reduced to inserting lines of "=======" to delineate what's mine and what's not, and completely stuffing up the thread layout accordingly.

But an apology is in order to Daniel, since I believe him when he says it's not him to blame but (as you point out) my newsreader is.

So, to Daniel: sorry for the false accusation.

Anyway: if in future, you see "=========" in my replies, that's what's happening.
