I don't understand what you are trying to show me, David.

Those both are from the same message, but you show two different M-IDs.

Actually, they are not from the same message. The one posted under the first
MID is from that message on my server, the snippet posted under the second ID
is from your response to that message.

Shorter snippets

From first MID:

htt



From Second:

htt


<----------this line added by TB in your post.



What can you provide that I can go read which shows this is a "known
issue"?

Its been a while. Blinky had an issue with it Loooooong ago and went into one
of the mozilla groups to discuss it and was flamed to high hell. He reported
back in here. You wont find a bug report becasue they view it as a feature.


Anyway, those quotes look like the same ones that the earlier poster,
AzzMazta, provided, where I said the quotes were not my original
material (inside an incorrect attribute).

Those snippets were hosed up by AzzMazta. Take another look at
<i5jug3$p9m$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and see where my material is good and
his stuff is broken up and makes no sense.

Oh, I get all that and was confused by his post as well. But if you look at
my smaller sample above, youll notice that when you replied to tell him so
the second time, TB added additional blank lines to quoted material.


Everything I post looks good (to me), even when I use different
newsreaders to view the messages. You probably see my stuff good too,
but that message was hosed by AzzMazta.

Totally agree. This TB 'feature' has been around for a very long time. If you
were to get into long discussions that happen to have lots of quoted blanks
it becomes very clear as you move down thread.

Did that help explain it?


Found mention of it, watch for wrap:
