Um. This may be the case. How do you turn overquoting off, in GMail? Because
otherwise, I'm going to very apologetically and firmly ask you to find a
different mail client.


theheretik, this applies to you as well. Overquoting is something that gets
people put on digest mode 'round these parts, I'm afraid. If you're using
an HTML emailer, the HTML is being stripped by the mailing list settings
and all your |-looking quote marks are gone, gone, gone. You need to add

change your emailer's settings.

(I should note, I'm perfectly happy to look into ways to help people
change their email clients' settings to eliminate overquoting and
HTML.)
