Wrong message. The message Jonathan responded to was this one: Emilio Lopez wrote: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/11/msg00927.html That message was bottom posted after the full long quoting of your message. Your original message was format=flowed so the long lines were no problem. (Except for verbatim cut-n-paste of program output or configuration files, which would get wrapped then. Only a potential problem at this point since you haven't sent any that would be long enough to hit the wrap problem yet.) But in the full quoting the format=flowed was lost and the result of that was quite hard to read since in the bad quoting the lines were very long. Since it was full quoted 2 lines were from Emilio and 75 were from Ron. Really the quoted message should have been trimmed. Personally I would love to see a mail filter on mailing lists that examined a message and rejected it if too much text was quoted without trimming. Bob
