OK, so what I should have said was "sorry for the top post, but I'm using a crappy GPRS phone and Gmail's java app. If I can turn off quoting, I haven't found the option yet. I can't cut and paste, and there's only one box to type in anyway." But I don't want to spend 10 minutes typing a postscript to every message. Please don't assume everyone is lazy! :-) Cofion, Neil.
