Sorry I assumed that on a technical list like this one folks would be viewing emails as the internet gods intended, in a nice monospace font. I don't see how leading carets would help in a proportional font; it just doesn't work well for quoting emails I think. Maybe that's why email from html clients seem to do a lot of top posting and ditch quoting (and I fear reading) emails all together. Apologies if the quoted stuff is messed up in this email.
