Hey, Fossy,
please be mindful of how you style your e-mails, when there is a quoted
text, it is necessary to have an 'arrow' [>] at the start of each line,
otherwise it is not considered a quoted text. For example, this part:
> > I don't think anyone is shocked by your messages. They just come off as
> crass. Imagine going to a conference in real life and one of the
> speakers goes on a 10 min rant filled with swearing and irrelevant
> material halfway through his talk. Some people might be offended. Most
> would be thinking "why am I wasting my time on this idiot?".
means that only the first line is from the e-mail you have responded to,
the other four are from your very own keyboard (quoted in this case
because I am responding to that text).
It's not a super huge deal, but it can mess up for example my highliting
in neomutt and could confuse some threading in different mailing clients.
To see the messed up highlight, see attached image.
Have a good one.
