I've been after Paul Heller for years to get rid of Zimbra, a huge clunky webmail interface, and I only use it when when my home Debian install is, for some reason, not functional. I apologize for Zimbra's inadequacies, failure to produce '>' as my home mutt so nicely does. It isn't an email client, and obviously can't do threading and quoting and things. Alan clearly doesn't understand them, just as he doesn't understand what the word "solved" means. Hint for Alan: it doesn't mean the same as kludged. Sorry, I do know what 'solved' means, and I do say that _my_ problem is solved. But my solution, as I've said over and over again, is not one that I can give to people who are running a dual boot system at my urging. > to properly quote, and honor existing quotes, if for no other reason than > to help us identify who wrote what.

When I get Jessie running properly on my new Dell I'll have my emacs put in quotes as they should be. But I don't know how to do it on Zimbra, which, I'll repeat, is a foul piece of SW. For now I'm indenting my replies. I hope all your mail readers respect my indentations; I have a suspicion that some of them don't. Re Royal Holloway: boys were added in 1966, a year before my time there. But there were always male faculty there, especially in math, which subject has, most unfortunately, suffered from a dearth of qualified women. This is beginning to change: the AMS puts a lot of effort in supporting women and departments supporting women. More perhaps tomorrow. I have tasks to perform before bed. But maybe someone can tell me why the installer can't look at the partitions and determine that there is some kind of OS already installed? Why does it have to know about Windows 10 to behave sensibly? "Curious minds . . . " Best wishes, Alan
