A little pet peeve. Some people's browsers seem to automatically insert, "So and so said" when replying to the list when the person is replying to a message on the list. If you are replying to the original post it works. If you are tagging on to what someone else has already responded your piece of software ascribes the quote to the previous responder. It leads to some confusion and sometimes a flame to wrong person. I get off list responses from time to time from people who thought I asked for information and it was someone else's request that I had responded to.

Can you turn off that "feature" or at least check the message to see whether it makes sense? Thanks.
