Thunderbird may have done the quoting, but you did the trimming.
Strange how you managed to trim out all of the stuff I wrote. It
looks like you took a message that replied to one of mine, and
trimmed out the part from me. I would expect someone with your
claimed experience not to make a mistake like that. Or was it a mistake?
Do you see any quoting on the lines I included from here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-November/msg04679.html?
I think it was someone's line wrap issue, but it happened before I saw it.
