Hmm.  That is indeed strange since I always post to 3000-L in plain text,
which would include no color.

However, I have started using a little Outlook add-on called QuoteFix.  It
takes most posts and nicely reformats those nasty lines with one or two
words them.  It also adds the appropriate number of '>' to indicate how many
levels of reply one is in.  Does your mail reader automagically add color?
Maybe when I prune the message, for our digest readers, it messes up the
algorithm in the mail reader.  Thanks for letting me know about it.

(For anyone interested in the free OE-QuoteFix program see:
