While thunderbird seamonkey etc seem to behave "normal" using messages written with html gmail seems to be an exception when it comes to quotes in replies. Here is the scenario. I send a plain message to a gmail account, the recipient has Richt formating (HTML I presume) on[1] and hits the reply key, he then sees | Hello how are you? And he replies like this | Hello how are you? I am fine thank you. However gnus receives and displays the message as > Hello how are you? > I am fine thank you. Which of course is wrong since the quote message and the answer are not distinguished. Three observations: - when the gmail user replies like | Hello how are you? I am fine thank you. Then gnus displays this as > Hello how are you? I am fine thank you. Which is ok! - The gmail message which is not displayed correctly in gnus is correctly displayed in say thunderbird. So I am not sure who is to blame. Gmail html for not sending a newline or gnus for not displaying it correctly? - when using thunderbird with html editing on, this newline problem does not occur! Uwe Brauer Footnotes: [1] the problem does not appear when plain text is activated.
