FYI some mail programs begin with "Alexia Prendergast wrote:" even
though Alexia only penned the answer later in the message.
I have received two messages in the past couple of weeks just like your
protest.
We don't write that little thingie that says "Alexia Prendergast Wrote:"
Our mail software writes it (perhaps without concern that Alexia will be
offended)!
Send some messages to yourself, and include excerpts from other messages
and you'll see what I mean.
It's a great, but imperfect world. :-))
