So, this is all about a poster who isn't you? My news reader shows
new post titles in a different color, but the body of those messages
are all the same color. The only way I know who said what is by the
quote markers, so when someone uses a news reader that doesn't insert
them - their reply message is a garbled mess for me. Lack of line
wrapping is bad, but not inserting proper quote markers is even worse
(IMO).
