up with another standard way to denote quotes.
Perhaps plus signs ++ or tildes ~~."

Thanks very much! I'm temporarily using quotation marks (and a dotted line)
to set off your quoted material, until I decide what will work for me. If I set
my e-mail to "text only" I will miss a lot of HTML stuff from other sources,
and I'd rather not do that.
Using another symbol would be fine for me, but will it be okay for others
receiving my posts? Will you understand that, for instance,
##The dollar NSUDs near the buffet exit at the MGM Grand are still MIA.##
is a quote? Actually, I kind of like the looks of the number signs!
Thanks again for the info!
Brian
