What is your email client doing to make your reply appear quoted?
That
makes it difficult to find it.
He's probably doing what a lot people do: Not leaving a blank line
between quotes and his reply.
Leave a completely blank line between quotes and reply, do not type
immediately below quotes (like I've done, above). Various email
clients re-wrapping functions make a mess of separating different
paragraphs if you don't do that. Sometimes you need to do more than
two blank lines to break them apart, you can usually delete them away
once you've beaten its editor into submission.
Evolution will do that, and I see he used Thunderbird. So, apparently,
it'll do that, too.
I'm still staggered that email clients make a complete mess of getting
quoting right after a few decades of being around. Mind you, half of
them concentrate on top posting replies and don't give a damn about
doing anything neatly.
