OT: Missing quotes in message replies

[Jules Richardson]

I'm seeing a few messages where the text being replied to isn't quoted 
(anything from Al and Billy Pettit it seems, but there have been one or two 
others) other than a separating line beneath old and new text, making it 
confusing at first glance (particularly where the actual line and reply might 
be off the bottom of the screen).

Am I alone in this? I just wondered if it's something broken within my email 
client (Thunderbird) and it's stopped rendering what it thinks is quoted text 
properly for certain classes of messages.

99% of messages are fine though, and either get displayed with quote 
characters or displayed with a solid coloured line to the left of the quoted 
text. If it's just me I'll try and find the cause though; if it's not I'll 
just put up with it :-)

cheers
