Placing the original passage being replied to in italics requires the poster to use HTLM throughout the entire post

Using the more conventional > mark, like email does, prevents this problem.... and they can be "stacked"

Example;

>>Clinton is a Bozo (original post)

>I agree (first reply)

But his wife is worse (new reply)

All the tags most will probably ever need on FR:

1. <I> </I> Italics
2. <B> </B> Bold
3. <P> Paragraph break.

   One blank line between paragraphs. The corresponding </P> is not necessary.

4. <BR> Line break.
   Text will display one line below.
5. <A HREF="URL">Any text to click on</A> Creates an active link.
