They would stand out if *you*/people/me/everybody edited out all the
irrelevant text, to leave only a few lines of the original post, above
your reply. Like I did here: I bottom posted to make it
natural-flowing, yet visually my comments do stand out, don't they ?

And I think you've brought up part of the problem I am talking about.
You're on a *general*, *basic* Ubuntu Users mailing list expecting
everyone to have a firm grasp of how to use their computer. There is a
good chance they're on an unfamiliar email client on an unfamiliar
operating system trying to get some basic support and all they receive
is a complaint about where they place their responses. Perhaps having
worked in technical support for years I've grown astute to reading text
in all locations of an email with poor descriptive attributes and still
being able to provide some level of help.<br>
