why is your reply double-quoted instead of unquoted? It makes it very difficult to read.

It looks like we all have bugs in our mailers. The source of the problem is Thunderbird, which jdd used to write the original mail. He specified the mail was to be sent as format=flowed, which I think may be the Thunderbird default. But Thunderbird hasn't encoded it properly. The quoted lines (i.e. what Carlos originally wrote) that have text on them do not have trailing spaces, so they are 'fixed', whilst the empty quote lines do have trailing spaces (i.e. greater space NL), meaning they are 'flowed'. Unfortunately the line immediately after the last empty quote line is not quoted. That is not allowed by RFC 3676. The last line before a change of quote level must be 'fixed'. Also unfortunately, both our mailers handle the situation incorrectly. Mine ignores the change in quote level and reflows jdd's reply into the quotation. Yours doesn't reflow the two empty 'flowed' lines into a single quoted line. If you haven't set text_flowed then mutt is off the hook but you were comparing apples to oranges. It'd be good if one or more of the Thunderbird users would bug report this; I'm in discussions about my mailer. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
