None with the above one, which was a start-of-a-new-thread one. WLM
(from I think version 15) did not indicate quoted text in followups at
all (e. g. by prepending "> " to quoted lines), thus making any followup
posted by a user of it pretty hard to read, as you couldn't tell which
text was being quoted from the previous post, and which was new from the
followup poster. That, combined with a certain confusion over
top/middle/inter posting, caused WLM users in some 'groups to even get
killfiled!

Well, it seems to be adding indication of quoted text anyway (in your
post, any line you've quoted from Steve now has a "> " in front of it),
which is a good start - means we can easily see which lines are Steve's,
and which are your replies.
Thanks for taking my request to change client in the way it was
intended, by the way!
