In some messages it has in blue, "show quoted text" How does one put
that in ones message. hat is a lot better than doing a copy of a
message and stuffing more bull to have to read thru to get to theactual
post. At least it gives a person a way to either go back to the
original message or not, depending on the whim of the reader.
thx

Lines of quoted text usually begin with an arrow () or sometimes a
colon (. Both characters should turn the quoted text blue or some
other color. For example,

Text quoted with an arrow;

and...

:Text quoted with a colon.

You can type in the characters yourself like I just did, but your
newsreader should be capable of automatically adding them to each line
of quoted text when you reply to a post. Check your reader's setup
(options, preferences, configuration, etc.).

Hello Frank, he's using googles interface. I think there is an option to
show quoted text while using their web reader but i'm not sure how it's
done.
