With all due respect Tom, the problem is you and the tools you've chosen to use for replying to newsgroups. Yahoo Mail just plain sucks and doesn't properly do anything right for places like this.

I've not tried Gmail for something like newsgroups, but their conversational message display might work a bit better.

And Larry is quite right, with Thunderbird, you have proper attributions so figuring out who said what isn't all that hard. :-) And a helluva a lot easier than figuring it out from a top posted message.

FYI, this is another of your messages I've had to reformat manually because of your choice of tools. Getting tired of it. :-)
