I'm using alpine. It runs in an xterm. In the message I'm replying to, I cannot tell the quoted text from the new text. This may be a "feature" of gmail. I'm not sure what "X-Mailer: Airmail (286)" signifies in Marcelo's email. I had the same problem with Russell Reiter's postings. Russell's postings may have been fixed by his recent switch to k9. I don't know since now he's "top posting" (which I think is unfortunate in a mailing list). He previously responded-by-chunk, which I think is great EXCEPT when quote and response are indistinguishable ("red" doesn't work in plain ASCII). Here's what I recommend: - quote relevant chunks of what you are replying to - add your response after the relevant chunk - make sure that the quotes and replies are distinct, even in ASCII - don't quote parts that you are not responding to This is one way to be considerate of your audience. Regardless of what I just said, I'm top-posting for this one example so that you can see what I see. | From: Marcelo Kalib <kalibslack@gmail.com> | To: GTALUG Talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2015 09:01:04 -0300 | Subject: Re: [GTALUG] Keep X from going to sleep | Reply-To: GTALUG Talk <talk@gtalug.org> | | On 17 de março de 2015 at 08:56:01, William Witteman (wwitteman@gmail.com) wrote: | Here's a problem I'm hoping to solve: | | When idle for some amount of time, X shuts down the screen.
