Quoting Text

Now for the final explanation.
I'm sure you have seen quoted text in a post or email.
It would look something like this:

This is an example of a "block quote". This text will be much
smaller than the message text below. This would be the text that someone
copied, then pasted, then used a quote command to make smaller, and center
on the page.



The non-quoted text would be here. It is a normal size and defaulted to the
left edge like normal.
This would normally be a response to the quoted text above.

This procedure is quite simple once you get the hang of it.
It will require some practice on your part using your email and sending
yourself a few test emails.

Here are the steps to quoting text:

1. Copy some text and paste it into an outgoing email screen.
2. Put your cursor at the beginning of the line you wish to quote.
3. Place a > before the first letter of the line.
4. Hold down your cmd key and push the right arrow -> key.
Notice how the cursor jumps to the end of the line.
5. Now hit your return key. This is a must do step.

You just quoted the line. Do this to each line you wish to quote.
Don't worry about the > symbols, if you have done everything correctly, the
brackets will disappear when the message is sent.

Now send yourself a test message and see how you did....:-)
