<br>
The first line you quoted below is not how I originally wrote it.
I don't know if Thunderbird is removing quotes or not, but it
should be:<br>
<br>
(quote)From: (backslash)(quote)%s(backslash)(quote) (%s)
<%s>(quote)<br>
<br>
Either way, I've included Stephen, one of the developers of the
server software I'm using. As we were in a lengthy conversation
last night about this and I'm not much of a programmer, so I don't
want any confusion here while trying to pass on what he says.<br>
