*Get MIME or Plain Text Digests?*

Your mail reader may or may not support MIME digests. In general MIME 
digests are preferred, but if you have a problem reading them, select 
plain text digests.

Sign in to http://riverdale-prak.org and check your options. Changing 
from "MIME" to "Plain Text" may help with the 'additional formatting lines'.

I don't use the digest so this is just a suggestion. I'm really just 
talking out of my a-a-a-a .. other side of my mouth.

 From _Promoting a Civilized Environment:_

"5. It is helpful to include /part/ of the message to which you are 
reacting in your response, but please don't quote the whole thing."

Oh that fix to your problem requires the cooperation of all members of 
the forum. Good luck. Sorry.

It does pay to review the rules though, I learned something and will 
stop using the embellishments of html.
