Why are your quotes the wrong way round? Many newsreaders (including
my ancient copy of Agent) put lines starting with '>' in a different
colour to distinguish them as a quote. You appear to be deliberately
mixing '>' and '<', making your posts difficult to read.

He's using Gmail (according to the nice Thunderbird 'Display User Agent' add-on) - but then so are others who post quite normally, so who knows?

He also has an eccentric habit of repeating part of the previous poster's message; it was one of those that had the quotes the wrong way round - in fact you posted that bit originally, and for some unknown reason he copied it within his reply.
