Nick -
Was there a better way in Gmail?
I don't know how you access gmail... Thunderbird is my default which can (also) work with gmail accounts. If you are using the webmail interface in a browser, it is likely that you can use RTF/HTML markup inline (block-indent, bold, italics?).
On a TS (tiny-screen/phone it might be somewhat harder?). Someone more familiar with your compositional environment might be able to give you more specific advice.
NST> I think the use of caps was conventional in academia before Trump. It certainly does not Suggestshouting.
I'm unfamiliar with that convention, though perhaps in paper-print (typewriter/lower-visual-contrast, fixed pitch) it renders more-better?
My preference is "block-indent" Like this here here and here.but for all i know that comes through bolloxed by the mail reflector or the myriad mail-readers likely?
The txt e-mail convention I am familiar is to preface the initial correspondent's text with a ">" or "NST>"
SAS> what is with the ALL CAPS SHOUTING NICK? NST> nothing intended, I thought it was the pre-TRUMP convention in Academia SAS> I dunno, not familiar with that. etc.don't mean to "brush you back" with the typographic issue, the important point was that I went to the effort to change the format for myself as-needed to be able to parse easily... some might not make the effort.
