You mean my larding doesn’t look like this?
Could somebody send me a screen shot of how it comes out on your computer?

I fixed the larding for you. 8^D "If you feed a man some lard.... ...but if you *teach* a man to lard... " I don't know what mailtool Nick uses but the style of lardation (my coinage, rhymes with "tarnation") Nick affects seems just downright hazardous to the reader! [NST===>What!? It’s designed to be the ultimate in reader friendliness. If you guys would get off your text only schtik and dirty your skirts with a little html muck you would see how supremely incisive and convenient my larding is. <===nst] It seems that it is upon one of the Santa Fe denizens to sit down cheek-to-jowl (N95-to-Bandana) with Nick and help him learn one of the conventional idioms for text-larding. My own Larding may be faulty I realize because I let it flow from what is easy with Thunderbird (my mail tool of choice) and since I (re)read my own material in Thunderbird I would never know if it renders uglified elsewhere/weiz. The UNIX mailtool technique/support I grew up with was simply to add a series of > like a shell prompt at the start of each line which might or might not include a prefix unique identifier: >>>line from message three iterations back >> line from message 2 iterations back (presumably in response to the line >> above) > line from previous message with two "greater than" '>' symbols or GEPR>>>>some statement NST>>> some rephrasing of/commentary on the above statement GEPR>> pithy retort SASS > dumbass interjection oblique to pithy retort to rephrasing of some statement current final response to the above by the current correspondent as indicated in mail header HTML formatting editors (including T-Bird) seem to do their alternative well enough, but I could be biased.
