Why should we remove the carrots? Those little angle brackets are very important to keep in place in our messages. The angle brackets indicate "quoted text" that I quote back to you as I reply to you. When you reply in turn, two angle brackets appear in the original quote, then one in front of my last reply, none in front of your new text. This then graphically illustrates the thread of a conversation. We want too easily display the order of our e-mail conversation, as it takes place, so that we can look back at the original statement, each reply, each argument, each point, all in turn. This would be especially important when it comes to discussions about something such as genealogical research. Just a thought about why we should keep them, Cyndi
